We’re fortunate to have many poems by R. Zamora Linmark in our pages, including “Fake: A Fable,” a sharp commentary on contemporary life featuring everything from alternative facts to zombies; “Two Poems Composed After Watching Pedro Almodóvar’s Flicks While Suffering from Insomnia,” from our May 2019 poetry feature; and “Morning Salutation for Joe Brainard” from Issue 08. Linmark’s poems are also included as part of several past issues and poetry features; check out “Pilgrimage to a Killing (Issue 18),” “Dead-of-Night Blossoms (Issue 13),” “At This Point,” “Soon to Be Titled” and “Three Lives.”
