Marisa Crawford

Crawford's piece 'Kozmic Blues' is excellent, over at TheFanzine here [2013], she has a great voice that is incisive and yet lyrically beautiful--modern poetry rarely has the intrinsic beauty necessary for the art:
[...]
Violet crushed-velvet skirt like I was following a trail somewhere.
[...]
My ball & chain.
The rhinestones. The rain.
I was swimming in it.
[...]

And the poem 'People Power' by Marisa Crawford in Moonshot issue 5 [2013] is excellent, read it here:

[...]
I'm sorry to the giant antique urn. I'm sorry to the magic.

That every single day I obscure by floating above the sidewalk in
all black like a ghost on my way to buy the earrings.
