Yersinia pestis for Idiots: A Primer for the 14th Century Plague Doctor
A Virtual Poetry (Micro)Chap by Tom Holmes
Tom Holmes, author, teacher, winner of The Bitter Oleander Press Library of Poetry Book, and founding editor and curator of Redactions: Poetry & Poetics, cracks a funny bone (or two) with five of the funniest tongue-in-cheek poems about death and pestilence you will probably ever read in one of The Argyle’s latest (micro)chaps.
This mini-chap will vanish into the ether upon publication of The Argyle’s third issue in May 2024. Read NOW before it disappears.

“Take to the streets to see what neon
has left me. Doesn’t help my slumber return,
but shoves the night fears aside.”

As we all embraced Islam”

by Nancy Byrne Iannucci
“And still my meadow holds on to happy faces,
like children
on a Ferris wheel.”
