Dear Readers and Contributors,
I thank you all for continuing to trust us and share your incredible work with us!
I’m really excited about this issue–from Natalie Louise Tombasco’s insightful interview about her new book (invoking maximalism, the female epic, nomenclature, the grotesque, to name a few…) to Lauren Camp’s incantatory, summer-y, spooky “To Sea” poem, to Novella Wu’s incredible remaking of the NYT games into poems!
There are poems which mention tiktok, there are poems which respond to Mystery Science Theater 3000 and poems which respond to vintage fashion, there are visual poems, and there is textile poetry/art!
This is a rich, fun issue and a real balm to what is happening the world all around us.
I hope that you enjoy it.
Take care,
Natalie Solmer
