Hardtail Harvest by Sara Dian

8,00

A quarter of an inch inside clay soil
under loose gravel the size of bogeyman knuckles

hardtelling—how the corner was caught
before spilling out into laughter

This 16-page poem-zine by Sara Dian ends up caked under the fingernails of a day that ranges from Pacific Northwest mountain bike trails to corporeal epiphanies misted with the spritz from a freshly pop-topped can of beer.

Listen to Sara read Hardtail Harvest, with some background on the hours, route, and precipitation of the poem.
