Ben Goluboff

June in the Graveyards

The wild strawberries
are out in the grass
at Hebrew Benevolent.
The lawn guys at Graceland
pull down mulberries
from the trees. 
Everywhere
is the smell of Linden.

 

At the Beach, Northside, Chicago

At Albion St. beach it is hard to say
if the red flag of Anarchy flies,
or if it’s just e. coli in the water.

 

Benjamin Goluboff’s newest book, Moe Asch: A Speculative Life in Verse, comes out from Kelsay Press this winter. Goluboff teaches at Lake Forest College and lives in Chicago. His work is easy to find on the internet.
