Brionne Janae
Brionne Janae lives in Brooklyn, New York, where she spends most of the year complaining about how cold she is and the rest complaining about how hot and thick the air is. Her first full-length poetry collection is After Jubilee.
Love Poem

late into california’s indian summer you climb / onto your father’s back wrap your arms around his neck / and slide into the depths of your grandmother’s / pool
