Six Reasons Why I Have Considered Exile

by Joan Kwon Glass

Poem in House Mountain Review

-We often return to the place of pain just because it is what we know.
-I am an atheist who prays for faith.
-When he was diagnosed with colon cancer, my grandmother took my uncle to a witch doctor despite her devotion to Jesus.
-Every year I have at least one student who would rather be mocked than ignored.-I dream of my grown children as younger versions of themselves and when I wake, it feels like they’ve died.
-I’d rather be lost outside of a black hole than be trapped inside of one. [1]
