From the
Southland
by Thomas Lux
He reveals to each of us,
through that lens, through
his praise of the absurdly beautiful,
the space we inhabit and
those travelling with us.
When Pianos Fall
From the Sky
by Travis Wayne Denton
Travis Denton moves
through the fluid registers
of the vernacular
like Michael Phelps
through a swimming pool.
Outside the
Calendar
by Kjell Espmark
Imagine moments when all
the experience and values
of a human being are
condensed into a sudden
insight.
Field Guide
by Dario Jaramillo Agudelo
We cherish our illusions
so that we can enter
reality; and what we imagine
can seem to us as real as
what we actually see before
our eyes every day.
