Sam's pick: Adam Clay

My first choice for incoming poet, Adam Clay, entitled: "Love Poem"

A baseball crashed through my kitchen window

and landed in the coffee cup you found in the dirt

and mailed to me. Everything arcs. I looked east

and read the words you wrote in cursive

above the red seam. Yes: what happens behind glass,

stays behinds glass. When the sun is just overhead,

the roads between here and there turn to soil,

grab hold of the land, and begin to bend. 

Adam Clay will be hosted by the series June 7th!
