Absent open for subs
This is not Leigh Stein, nor is it Absent Magazine.
from Absent:
We are now reading submissions of poetry for our next issue. Please spread the word! Send up to 10 pages of poetry, in the body of an email or as a .doc or .rtf attachment, to absentsubmissions [at] gmail [dot] com. Simultaneous submissions are fine, just let us know if your work is accepted elsewhere. We do not accept previously published poems. We will attempt to respond to all submissions within a month. If you would like to submit in another genre (prose, sound, image, etc.) please query.
Absent is a beautifully designed journal of poetry, some prose, essay, sound.
I like this poem by Leigh Stein from issue 3 (though I liked it even better before I found out Rattawut Lapcharoensap is a real person).

I have two students who I think are dating now. They used to not know each other and now the boy always waits for the girl and they leave together. I feel like I get some of the credit for that.

I mean because probably they decided to get together and work on one of the papers I assigned them–right? and then it was like 2 AM all of a sudden, and they still couldn’t figure out what my lousy essay question was asking of them, but it was suddenly clear how much they meant to each other.
that sounds right. right?
