Your Future Spouse by Jessy Randall

Julie: There's something inherently depressing about destiny. As Gabriel says somewhere on WEE, if one of us is destined, we're all destined. The idea of the poem is wonderful. The execution falls a little flat for me, but I'm not in a very good mood and that definitely colors my reads.

Dead Soldier by Kevin Prufer

Julie: I knew I wasn't going to like this poem. And then I did. Oh, I did. This poem is both spare and rambling, with a beautifully prosaic rhyme. Oh, yes I did.
