Thirteen Poems were borne out of the strangeness of the last four years. Some of them were thought to be lost but were rediscovered during lockdown. Others were written amid it, with the most recent poem, “A Half Dozen Black Sea Shores” addressing the continuing humanitarian crisis in the Ukraine.

Thirteen Poems represent thirteen parallel universes where:

  • A young boy, vacationing in Switzerland in the 1950s, discovers a magical castle in the woods, leading to an unexpected friendship with famed psychoanalyst C.G. Jung.

  • A trip to an artist’s workshop reveals a cryptic numbering system.

  • The late video game designer Theresa Duncan attends a cocktail party.

  • An Andy Warhol-obsessed teenager plans her escape from the suburbs.

  • A native New Yorker devises a Situationist-inspired scheme to help their local public library.

  • Falling in love is reconfigured in honor of filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 100th birthday.

  • A poet goes back in time to advise their younger self; and,

  • The author encounters the Ancient Greek goddess of revenge on an elevator while listening to the best-selling U.S. single of 1967.
