Poetry 2017 / Spring 2017 / Volume 48

Balefire—Denton Loving

Posted on February 3, 2018 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

The crimson king maple blows in high winds, burns with October’s beautiful death. Before my confused eyes, leaves piled at the tree’s base form wings, take flight and fall upwards. A reversal of everything I know. These small, light birds flash grayish white undersides before disappearing into the crimson king’s flames.   Maybe they are … Continue reading →

Dust—Wm. Anthony Connolly

He cleaned up in anticipation of her arrival. He made things look right. He dusted the tables, the lamps, the curtains and the shelving. He pulled out books and CDs and cleaned behind them. He sprayed cleanser on the TV screen and wiped it clean. Everywhere he looked, dust. In places, the dust, beggar’s velvet … Continue reading →

The Blue Haze—W. Royce Adams

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

No one can convince me they aren’t out there. Just two or three blocks away, oh yes. I know it; feel it. My mind keeps seeing them sitting there in a black Ford panel truck; I see them hunched over their machines, wearing this special electronic gear they have, taping everything. Yeah. I’ve read about … Continue reading →

On the Nose—Kevin Tosca

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

If you considered it from different angles, the jarring effect of Marina’s nose was lessened, but never erased. When she wasn’t there, I wondered if hers was a face I could wake up to each morning. No. My honest, spontaneous answer: No. But I didn’t like this honest, spontaneous answer of mine, nor the me … Continue reading →

Smile—Marissa Carson

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

Rebecca Williams had the brightest smile you’d ever seen. Maybe it wasn’t pure white, but the way she smiled was so sincere that it radiated warmth and light. She had a gap, not between her two front teeth, but between the pointy one and the flat one directly four to the left of that. You’d … Continue reading →

Mercury—Tom Larsen

Somebody said he was a stone hauler with a broken heart. Whoever he was he drove up to Eagle Mountain the night before Thanksgiving with a quart of Wild Turkey and a .357 Magnum. The sheriff found him around sunup. By noon the news was all over town. We were shooting pool when the wrecker … Continue reading →

The Zyzzyva—Sara Schmitt

Zune: (see zoon) n. An individual animal produced from an egg. Despite the various calls she had made in the past few weeks complaining about the matter, when Nora opened her front door on Sunday morning she found that, yet again, her newspaper had been dropped at an unacceptable distance from her front step. Nora … Continue reading →

The Wallaby & The Python—Alexis Kale

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

I must look like a zombie, she says, wiping underneath her eyes. It’s this new organic eyeliner. I don’t know what it does to my face. Organic eyeliner? I ask. My hand shifts on her bare back. She stops to answer, but she doesn’t know what makes eyeliner organic. She says: It’s not tested on … Continue reading →

Peregrinus—Ariella S. Levy

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

The ocean feels far away in the dry redness. The succulents and cacti and scrub are too brown or too washed-out green to cut through the aching and endless brightness. Dilapidated fences of powdering wooden stakes and ancient strands of barbed wire run parallel to the road. Asphalt is bleached white by the sun and … Continue reading →

Joy—Josh Patrick Sheridan

Posted on April 27, 2017 by Coe Review • Leave a comment

A group of boys lines up on the third-base side of an overgrown ball field, kicking sneaker toes at the chalky earth and chewing on the sides of their fingers. The sun above them pulses and stares, the wind having died to nothing, but the boys stand still and content and thirsty, waiting to be … Continue reading →
