Defenestration: June 2009
Posted on June 20th by Defenestration
Welcome to the June 2009 issue of Defenestration, also known as "VI.VIII," also known as "Poetry and Prose and Zombies." Or something like that. There is definitely poetry, there is definitely prose, and there are definitely zombies.

Let's talk about right now. We've got a great issue this month: poetry by Clay Carpenter and Ross Lesse; prose by Dietrich Kalteis, Jon Alan Carroll, Sara Reihani, Samuel K., Greg Gerke, ...
