The last  issue (?) of The Raleigh Quarterly curated by Chris Tonelli and Chris Salerno has been updated today. RQ has has featured some great poets in their short tenure like Mark Yakich, Matt Henriksen, Emily Kendal Frey, Mathias Svalina, Sarah Bartlett, Joe Massey, Tony Tost, Kate Greenstreet, & Laura Sims, who  authored the poem below.

Out of a vacuum & into the world

I.

Into heavenly

Structure – the heart – there

Everything matters

II.

At a feast

Of beautiful feelings

You learn

The other must serve you

III.

And suffer

You suffer

Yourself to observe

You’ll now be able to find the eyebrow raising tag team of Chris² at their new imprint  So and So Magazine, who are currently taking submissions for their first issue. Congrats also to Chris Tonelli who just became a nasty dad. This man knows how to make things.
