LET US WHISPER SWEET SOMETHINGS IN YOUR EAR.
Sneak Some Sounds from Sugar.
James Davis May reads "Depression in Saint-Méloir Des Ondes," one of our 2022 Pushcart Prize nominations.
from "Fragments II"
by Nora Hikari
Terror is always forthcoming. Like pressure on a specific point / which trickles outwards to reveal our honest faults. / Splinter here.
from "Note from Apparent Magnitude to Luminosity"
by John A. Nieves
But as you backed away, you were just the AC wisping // the sediment of the room, asking the shadows if shadow / were a function of brightness or the gulf between light // and what eats it.
from "Gratitude List #3"
by Ace Boggess
how the larger knife held at my neck / turned out to be a test / by a desperate man who wanted my desperation;
from "The Devil Doesn't Come to the Flatlands"
by Julie DeBoer
We land-locked / ourselves and took a rolling pin to all the dangerous lumps in the /
earth, until the world was bare and vacant for miles. There is a kind of / safety in making ourselves desolate.
ABOUT SUGAR
Sugar House Review is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit poetry publisher based out of Utah. Our mission is to promote an eclectic range of poets through publishing and live events to build nationally connected literary communities and foster the literary arts in Utah. We are excited to be some of the first people to see your work and to help the best of that work become available to a larger audience.
Sugar was founded in 2009 by John Kippen, Nano Taggart, Jerry VanIeperen, and Natalie Young. At the time, it was the only independent, print poetry journal in Utah. Our name is based on both our location and desire to publish sticky, heart-racing, sweet, sweet addictive poetry. Sugar House is a neighborhood within Salt Lake City, named after the sugar beet factory of the Deseret Manufacturing Company (1851–1855).
