Lonnie McAlister's Upcoming Book: 575 You're No Longer Alive

Lonnie McAlister will soon be releasing her new book. It's an uplifting book of poetry...about her miscarriages. It's written entirely in haiku. Lonnie has agreed to provide some excerpts of her book. Here it is...




rollercoasters and
vodka shots- what a summer!
Your only season

gelatinous mass
swirling in the toilet bowl
all my hopes and dreams

prom dress way too tight.
dumpster behind the school gym.
can't return these shoes

we bought a prius
dark, empty nursery
no baby on board

we painted your room
all gender neutral colors
now my heart is black

dear baby jesus,
where do little ones lost go?
fingers crossed: heaven
