My poem on adjunct teaching, medieval nuns, and finance is up on Juked

I'm pretty happy that Juked make a space for this poem which probably has a very limited audience....


 When summer approaches, adjunct teachers worry about money


     ii

imagine this (or at least consider) I’m Clare of Assisi & I’ve got a little convent

in 1227 so petitioning Greg 9 (pope) for “the one thing that is necessary”:

privilege of a possession-free world


pope’s opposed since such a world is bad for consumer capitalism kidding!

fears empty-bellied women doing good will upset soup carts then there’s Francis

already in Assisi


famed for his hunger games
