"42°29'43.4"N 73°12'22.7"W" by Cleo Levin

"The morning of my grand opening, the sun rose early and poured in through my skylights, through the doors, through the three glass pyramids that hung over my atriums. It shone on my polished tile floors and danced through the halls."

When the quake hit, I was sitting in bed reading @jdbrecords.bsky.social's forthcoming book Re-Animator, which contains lots of references to horror movies like The Exorcist and Poltergeist, and as the bed started to shake I thought "is this book in Sensurround?"

Impossible Archetype was the first place to pick up one of my poems. This was a huge burst of confidence for someone who’d been writing their entire life but had never been published. They then included me in five more issues over the years. IA will be greatly missed but the archive will live on!

NYFF faves so far: THE SECRET AGENT, THE MASTERMIND, and ROSE OF NEVADA. ♥️

“Mill Creek Drive” by J.T. Trigonis Soon, we'd // be at the mall, that holiest of pre-adolescent holies, / shops assailing our senses, every minute feeling / Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

“The Five-Year Anniversary of the Tornado That Took Down Turtle Creek” by Sarah Watkins It was the first time that this city had been featured on national news, but no one wanted to speak. The damage spoke for itself. It was as if the building were run through a mandoline slicer—caved-in ceilings, exposed pipe, and criss-crossing metal frames that held up nothing.

“Mating Ritual” by Steph Auteri Sometimes, if the stars aligned, we’d see them again. By the Sunglasses Hut kiosk. On line at Wetzel's Pretzels or Cinnabon. Sitting at the fountain, flicking pennies into the water.

“155,000M2 of Shopping, Entertainment and Leisure” by Samuel Prince All that swank and show, the imitation / of riches, gone, not even the fountain can spare a few cents / in its dried-up basin, its limescaled font – all wishes spent.

“Mallrat Baptism” by Veronica Tucker It had a soundtrack, piped-in pop songs echoing off linoleum, and it had structure. Escalators, maps, food court trays. There were rules we didn’t always follow, but that gave the place a strange kind of order.

“Ready 2 Wear” by Jeffery Berg I waste my min wage pay // on a blue button down from Hugo Boss. / Perhaps seduced by models on monitors / walking lit-up catwalks.
