by Richard Risemberg

the low sun of fall
light slants across high windows
crows call from rooftops

Richard Risemberg was born to a mixed and mixed-up family in Argentina, and dragged to LA as a child to escape the fascist regime. He’s spent the next few decades exploring the darker corners of the America Dream and writing stories, poems, and essays based on his experiences. He has published widely in the last few years, as you can see at crowtreebooks.com/richard-risemberg-publications.
