Flannigan-Demon Poetry (SP)-4T/P

The title Demon Poetry by Jessica Flannigan is pulled from an account of the way fire moves: "Fire has got a certain genius... a certain demon poetry." This piece is a product of the realization that one can write whatever they want – and people will either love it or hate it – and that’s okay.
