Spotlight this week on Betty J. Cotter, writing what she initially thought of as the “field trip story,” which then evolved into a greater examination of aging, memory, and our threatened environment.

Poet’s Note:

This piece is part of a larger project called “My Prayer a Slit Throat: erasing the inheritance of war.” My source materials come from war ephemera in the Western canon; different modes of erasure are explored with each source text.

I'm heartbroken that poet Jennifer Martelli has died. Her poem "Teeth" appeared in Issue 21 of @tahomareview.bsky.social - one of my first issues as editor. I fell in love with her poems and was lucky to become her friend. She was funny, brilliant, deeply generous, & kind. She will be very missed 🐈‍⬛💔

Lara shakes her head slightly, and the woman’s hair becomes wild, electrified.

“Then I need you to leave,” the woman says.

“I can’t. My life is here.”

The woman laughs, crests a hand over her eyes. “What life?”
