Cleve Latham

I am a teacher and writer in Chattanooga, TN and have published poetry, fiction, and non-fiction in a variety of journals. My debut novel is currently under submission, and I'm working on the second.

“Boating,” “Twin Sons,” and “Waking to No Child”

Here on a yacht in the Gulf of Mexico,
as a shrimp boat burrows behind
through the cool, plowed path of our electric motors,
we drink another salty beer, our bare feet
sliding on the damp deck with each ocean wash.
