Edgar Kunz: "Graffiti"
This week we offer a new poem by Edgar Kunz. Kunz lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where he teaches at Vanderbilt University. His work appears or is forthcoming in AGNI, Indiana Review, Gulf Coast, Forklift Ohio, Devil’s Lake, and other places. He moves to San Francisco in the fall to begin a Wallace Stegner Fellowship at Stanford University.
Author’s note:
I lived for a while in Baltimore and worked at a farm and outdoor school upstate. I’d drive up every morning to Parkton, Maryland, a small town close to the PA state line. Part of my job was to help run the cattle from pasture to pasture. We’d walk behind them in the road and wave our arms over our heads, trying to make ourselves look bigger than we were.
