Poems: Juneteenth and Word Worlds by Christina Springer, Taboo and Imagine a Fish by Darko Suvin in Femspec vol. 1 Issue 1

The poem Juneteenth speaks about Pittsburgh during a jazz era with characters like SuperHighFlier. In Word Worlds the poet creates visions of similarities existing between the jungle and the city using metaphors that connect earthy atmospheric qualities with the emotions of street life. In Taboo the poet creates a primitive world of the jungle and the same poet creates a lyric sense in Imagine a Fish. Two poets and two poems each.
