EXIT

written by: Steven Fortune

Rear-view nullification
certified by regression’s iris-out
monopoly
Children of your calling at the wheel
Beginners
scaling serpentine turnpikes
of a flat-planet highway
Galileo propagation
mutated
for a faithless generation
The Hermit’s lamp quelled
like a time capsule in wait
for the lenience
of apocalypse evaluations

Spotlight On Writers - Julia R. DeStefano

Julia R. DeStefano is a Red Queen who wears many hats but one crown. A confessional poet, she captures moments and preserves them in the glistening amber of language. She also believes in the penning of Paradise into existence through powerful verse. Julia is a woman driven by love and healed by intimacy who uses imagery to paint vivid pictures of darkness and sensuality. Julia believes that the most challenging things in life are those that ultimately end up being the most worth it; that to be loved well is to have won at life; and that the heart will never, ever lead the head astray. Look for Julia atop her throne of books.
