KN Magazine: Poetry
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.
TURNIPS IN SOUTHERN TENNESSEE STILL
In Turnips in Southern Tennessee Still, poet Michael Lee Johnson weaves imagery of moonshine, memory, and spiritual doubt into a haunting meditation on the Southern landscape. With echoes of violence, history, and surreal reflection, this poem explores the blurry lines between faith, myth, and rural truth.
