from "Melatonin Gummies, Four Stars"
by Hannah Treasure
These work—I take one every night instead of getting stoned. / The taste is fake strawberry, in a good way, like a snow cone.
from "RollerCoaster Tycoon® + the Tyrant I Was"
by Kieron Walquist
the promise of Oregon, an oasis being my heat-pickled brain, the pioneer life, quarrels, questions, quitting, risks, my toothpick schooner riding over rocks, river crossings, starvation, stupid shit
​
from "Borrowing"
by Jennifer Martelli
thick / and unnatural for me to even say // who I was: Ich bin, I am. A crow, /
omnipotent and Eurasian, lodged / in the hollow at the secret end // of my throat
from "Cedar Closet"
by Kasey Jueds
I can still make / a church of my fingers / to call back the burrs / snagged in her coat. I can make / a steeple, reaching / toward untouchable blue.

ABOUT SUGAR
Sugar House Review is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit poetry publisher based out of Utah. Our mission is to promote an eclectic range of poets through publishing and live events to build nationally connected literary communities and foster the literary arts in Utah. We are excited to be some of the first people to see your work and to help the best of that work become available to a larger audience.
Sugar was founded in 2009 by John Kippen, Nano Taggart, Jerry VanIeperen, and Natalie Young. At the time, it was the only independent, print poetry journal in Utah. Our name is based on both our location and desire to publish sticky, heart-racing, sweet, sweet addictive poetry. Sugar House is a neighborhood within Salt Lake City, named after the sugar beet factory of the Deseret Manufacturing Company (1851–1855).
