“Let’s Pretend” The Florida Review
“Harrisburg, One Week Later” Moon City Review
This poem was the winner of the 2015 Missouri State University Undergraduate Poetry Competition, judged by poet Debra Kang Dean. Of Farley’s poem, Debra Kang Dean notes, “Scrutinizing the American Dream, ‘Harrisburg, One Week Later’ is not pretty, but it is beautiful in its enactments. In ‘a flat voice,’ to borrow a phrase from James Wright, it appeals to multiple senses, and, using minimal punctuation, renders a scene simultaneously real and surreal, its lines trailing off, except for one: ‘The other was gone.’”
“Muscle Memory” Natural Bridge
