KN Magazine: Poetry
NIGHTPLANTER
A laborer pauses in a pine grove, struggling against weakness while continuing the quiet, necessary work of cutting stalks so they may grow again. In “Nightplanter,” Al Baron reflects on unseen labor, endurance, and the tension between personal memory and the anonymous work history requires.
Haunts of the Past
A brief, haunting meditation on memory, regret, and the echoes of a past that refuses to let go—an intimate struggle between remembrance and resilience.
AVOID THE TREES
In Avoid the Trees, Al Baron delivers a striking poem of observation and memory. Through eucalyptus trees, smoke, and the weight of aftermath, the poem confronts both imagination and reality—reminding us it’s sometimes safer to turn away than to face what remains.
