Jahan Khajavi’s September issue poem “37 Ways to Clean Cum from a Suede Shirt” may be the only ghazal we’ve ever published—and we’re pretty excited about it! Here Jahan shares just one thing about the piece:

“The ghazal ‘37 Ways to Clean Cum from a Suede Shirt’ is, apart from it being based on an absolutely true story, all about Rome; working within the notion that the sharpest way to show how much one knows—& loves—the city they live in is by complaining about it.”
