BIO:
John Coletti grew up in Santa Rosa, California and Portland, Oregon before moving to New York City fourteen years ago. He is the author of The New Normalcy (BoogLit 2002), and Street Debris (Fell Swoop 2005), a collaboration with poet Greg Fuchs with whom he also co-edits Open 24 Hours Press.

EXCERPT:

All the mistakes of power are people

Written over simple needs

We’re small fish people

My sister and I

Ears freeze slowly as beautiful stars

Flipping squirrels the sea-turn knife

Cops throwing snowballs

Sniffing my breath yawning

Similes siphoning jackhammers

Cooing a page in the twilight
