Delaware River, used as a Civil War POW camp and which in conjunction with Fort Mott on the Jersey shore was
intended to defend against
ships coming up the river. The cannons were never fired against an incoming ship. Also:

Coleman Hawkins
on his sax
lays down cool and slow
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
in the shadows of my living room
on an August night
after a long rain;
then Wes Montgomery
kicks up the groove
just a bit, just enough
to feel the difference.

August 13, 2009, Jerseyworks will begin its 8th year online. Our first day in 2001 we had 25 readers and published local poets and
friends of the editors. Since then, forty-seven thousand readers have have logged onto a total of more than 500,000 pages, and we
have published the work of writers and artists from nine countries and four continents. We apologize for the delay in announcing
this year's poetry awards, and as one step toward keeping
ourselves on time, Jerseyworks will move from an open publishing schedule to a schedule of issues in July,
October, January, and April. Jerseyworks is privately financed and editorially independent. We read all submissions until
we come to a bad line.

and more seriously if you will, four new poems plus six by
Mary Kennan Herbert, and finally two poets new to jerseyworks, Max Gutmann and Marisha Huber.
To accompany her prose poem concerning an encounter at a gas station in Berkeley Heights, NJ, we present
three poems by Michèle LaRoche of Berkeley
Heights. In French with translations by Ron Gaskill.
