Glen Armstrong, from Volume 4:2

Glen Armstrong holds an MFA in English from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and teaches writing at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. He edits a poetry journal called Cruel Garters and has three recent chapbooks: Set List (Bitchin Kitsch), In Stone, and The Most Awkward Silence of All (both Cruel Garters Press.) His work has appeared in Poetry NorthwestConduit, and Cloudbank.

Armstrong has two poems running in the latest volume of Synesthesia: "The Call of Cthulhu" and "Beauty Is as Beauty Does." The following is an excerpt from the former:

These are the darkest
nights imaginable,

but nights, darker,
still full of ill-considered
pleasure, wait in a vast beyond

for the chance to uncurl.
