Heracleocene - Words Without Borders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One time at our dacha, when we were little, my friends and I were told a story about a group of kids who played with a plant. They pretended that the plant’s stalk was a set of binoculars or a telescope. They burned their eyes. That’s how I learned about hogweed. That same year in our Russian language textbook we read a small text called “Hogweed.” The author praised the health properties of the plant, suggested making a little pipe out of its stalk. After you were done playing with it, the text

A Culmination of Things: Two Poems - Words Without Borders (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While the mist tips the curves, the ledge, and shoulder of a mountain in Samar island and the frag leaves of the palay are calm and even, a soldier grovels in a chase with metal grains from rifles that sprouted and grew in the field. Here, his blood rills over the farm, the crops grow and the peasants gather the harvest and take over the mound. October, tiempo muerto —A poem dedicated to the Sagay 9, farmers massacred during a bungkalan in Negros Nine is a lucky number, it stands for something—
