Irene’s travel credits include the mountains of central Mexico, the red rocks of Arizona and airport bathrooms everywhere. Her work can be found in the (now sadly defunct) Bullfight Review, The Baltimore Review and the occasional literary anthology. Her piece, “So the Lawyer You Married Wants to Devote His Life to Perfecting His Roundhouse Kick” won The Baltimore Review’s 2007 Creative Nonfiction Competition.
I’d been thinking about leaving. I’d been thinking how there’s something about out here. Before long it’s a new January and you’re hungover with a heartache for a man you won’t see for several years until he pops up on that very popular, critically-acclaimed sitcom with that actress you learned to like, then hate, then feign indifference abou
The leak in your breathing/ tube makes a cartoon squeak./ It takes two nurses, silent/ as nuns, to place you/ in my arms...
If I have already/ gone insane/ but I want to get/ crazier yet,/ what’s my move?/ Go outsane?
