Stephen Page has a flash fiction titled “The Lady in the Refuge” published in Conestoga Zen Press, Volume 2–which is senior edited by Rustin Larson.
Here is an excerpt:
My Harley is pulling me up a winding mountain road. I have never been to the top of Galvin Peak, but today I am adventurous and decide to wander from my usual route to the highway that edges the Laguna Mountains and overlooks the Empire Desert. As I rise in elevation, the air rushing by me begins to cool. I pull over on the side of the road and don my bombardier jacket . . . I spot a building that I have never seen before. The lights are on. On the eave above the front door, there is crest with a painting of a horse-backed armored knight holding a lance pointing forward. A sign by the side of the road reads, Our Coffee House. I pull in . . .

“Dear Liliana,
Today you are 23. Happy Birthday! Remember Capri, the boat ride, the grotto?
Love,
Jonathan Barks
PS
Sometimes what you think you need,
Is only what you think you need.
I poach two eggs, toast two pieces of bread, juice a lemon for her and oranges for me, pour two cups of coffee, and kiss her as she enters the kitchen.
We drive the sea route into Punta del Antonio looking for whales. We lunch on rib meat while sitting at a table in the sun in a garden . . .”

Listen Here: https://tinhouse.com/podcast/ada-limon-the-hurting-kind/
Today’s guest Ada Limón discusses her latest collection of poetry, The Hurting Kind, whose poems ask and explore what it means to be a human animal among animals, and how language can be a means or an obstacle to this desire. We talk about the relationship of joy to death, poetry to praise, and the desire to and challenges of writing with directness, with an aim to connect. We look at the trajectory of Ada’s poetics, one she describes as getting closer and closer to who she really is, and what it means, in language and on the page, to aim for authenticity, for the “I” in your poems to really be, or aim to be, you.
We also talk about pizza, groundhogs, and the Argentinian poet Alejandra Pizarnik (and I make an improbable connection between the three!). Pizarnik is a big part of our conversation and for the bonus audio archive, Ada contributes a reading of some Pizarnik poems that she particularly loves. To learn more about how to subscribe to the bonus audio and the other potential benefits and rewards of becoming a supporter of the show, head over to the Between the Covers Patreon page.
Lastly, here is the Bookshop for today’s episode, with all the books mentioned.
