Welcome to Spring 2021: A note from our Editor In Chief about our 4 year anniversary! Plus, an upcoming “Poets Are Funny” issue, and the wide range of subjects you will find poems about in this issue.

Featured Poet: Alessandra Lynch discusses her new book, Pretty Tripwire, which just came out with Alice James Books. Lynch goes into detail about her writing process for the book, her use of Roethke epigraphs, the importance of nature in her work, her garden, the physicality of writing, and she gifts us with a comprehensive list of must see places in and around Indianapolis!
