Decrees forbade a written language.
Insects sipped black milk from lanterns.
Unburied breaths were reused
For recharging robots –
Obedient serfs.
Humans were now
Auctioned off,
Sold as
Slaves.
About the Author
Native New Yorker. Poet. Writer. Dramatist. In 2024 LindaAnn LoSchiavo had three poetry books published in 3 different countries; two titles won multiple awards.
In 2025 two titles are forthcoming: “Cancer Courts My Mother” and “Vampire Verses” – fully illustrated by Giulia Massarin.
A segment of my formal verse functions as dispatches from the Bar-do—that liminal space I escape to with my imaginative alter-egos and my gothic predilections.
