NOSTALGIA
by Apr 17, 2009
BOMBlog’s Word Choice features original works of poetry, fiction, and art. This edition of Word Choice, selected by Galina Arnaut, features poetry by Craig Cotter and art by Millee Tibbs.
I find myself thinking lately a lot about nostalgia, and how memories always seem so much more favorable in retrospect. Perhaps this is why I liked “The Last Time” by Craig Cotter; it takes this nostalgia and juxtaposes it with that inevitable, crushing realization that we can never recreate that past. Or maybe it was just for its mention of landing strips, which always makes me laugh; as we grow older it seems anything can take on a sexual connotation.
