      November 15, 2017Sarah Wylder Deshpande“The Patron Saint of Boredom” by Sarah Wylder Deshpande

      As compensation for a boring life, he received a job
      in heaven in the department of tropical fruits
      and quickly moved up to miracles.
      When all the excitement is too much,
      he slips down to Earth
      and doodles in the back of math books
      or goes to Mass and finds
      the two-year-olds who crawl beneath
      the pews picking at stale gum.

      from #57 - Fall 2017

      “I grew up in Elkhart, Indiana, the recreational vehicle manufacturing capital of the world. It’s an industrial town with two rivers, the Elkhart and the St. Joe. I spent my childhood exploring rivers and abandoned factories and riding trains. I live outside the Midwest now, but I miss the wide-openess of landscape and driving along the highway with cornfields on either side, always being able to see the horizon.”
