Boring Chapter By Dan Provost


That blues

You mention this to nobody, as all

own truths & the bartender is deep


into page six of the sports section.





Dan Provost’s poetry has been published both online and in print since 1993. He is the author of 17 books/chapbooks, including All in a Pretty Little Row, released by Roadside Press, in November 2023. Notes From the Other Side of the Bed will be published by A Thin Slice of Anxiety Press in early 2025.
