Jeneva Stone’s Old Couple is an expertly executed, existentially explorative, and exhilaratingly extramundane example of what a prose poem can and should be. Stone’s imagination is exhibited masterfully in her explosive metaphors, and her imagery imbues this noctilucent scene with a supernatural flair that dazzles the reader with its immediate visibility. Her sly mythological allusions are the maraschino cherry on top of this magnificent poetic masterpiece. Frankly, one should read all of the poet’s work in the latest issue of Ginosko, as Stone’s talents should not be tasted piecemeal, but subsumed in their entirety.
