POEMS BY D.W. BAKER, MACY CRAIG, AND TRAVIS SHOSA

Written By Eva Alter

Welcome to Controlled Vocabulary Magazine! These three poems by D.W. Baker, Macy Craig, and Travis Shosa exemplify the haunting, sharp, and resonant poetry I hope to highlight in this magazine. In “Moon, Body: Song”, Baker utilizes form and precision of language that creates an alluring, hypnotic rhythm; in “I-35”, Craig fashions an experimental form that challenges and invites the reader to engage in multiple readings; and in “The Deer”, Shosa delivers a devastating blow in succinct, crystal clear language. I hope you enjoy these poems as much as I do!
