twofold

By Edward Carson

some say to
be loved is
a shape with

the inclination
of a curve

Diptych poems meeting at the intersections of Ovidian and Homeric echoes of transformation.

Whiny Baby

By Julie Paul

Chomping / champing / championing / churlish
/ … /
There’s a wolf at the door
that looks exactly like me

Inquisitive poems that stomp, giggle, tantrum, embrace, and wail.

Bridestones

By Miranda Pearson

Come, anguish. Help us manage
the plainsong of an open shore,

its language of high tide rich and close,
close and hard to see.

Elegiac and symbolist, these poems contemplate death, art, desire, and historical trauma.

Dreamcraft

By Peter Dale Scott

so the long stretch of life
reveals its curvature
by those widely separated

moments when we are
brushed
by this awareness

of an other
that we do not know

A poet contemplates the yang world he has known for decades, and the yin world he’s glimpsed only at rare moments.
