Poetry alum Noah Stetzer was recently featured in The Night Heron Barks. Read an excerpt of “Grindr 1993” below:

Grindr 1993

I have no idea how it happened when the blizzard
hit and the wind had stopped we all just showed
up at the gay bar on the corner: Jeff and Michael
and Kevin and Frank and Darren. That’s when you saw
who was from the neighborhood and who was not:
the ones that slummed from their suburb straight houses far
enough from home that no one knew them.
