In the Tempered Dark: Contemporary Poets Transcending Elegy, edited by Lisa Fay Coutley (Black Lawrence Press, 2024).

In the Tempered Dark brings together contemporary work and voices that demonstrate the range of grief which feels urgent to twenty-first century poets from diverse backgrounds, at different stages in their careers, confronting assorted losses through various styles and forms, including Malachi’s “Indirect Light [Streetlights were our stars]” and “Indirect Light [The only earth we knew].”
