W.C. Perry By W.C. Perry

—after Ocean Vuong
W.C. Perry is a writer from southern Ohio whose work has appeared in Meat for Tea, GRIFFEL, Lupercalia Press’ VULCANALIA ’21, and elsewhere. To contact this author, burn a candle on a starless night and scream into the nearest cornfield — they’ll get back to you eventually.
Why we chose this piece: The form. The images. The topic. The title. All of it, just wow. We loved seeing W.C. connect to a poet they love while making the poem their own. Reading this is like pulling on a warm sweater.
