Pardon

Inès Chauveau — 2024-10-26

the healthy, stable love, always there, come rain or shine ;

the same people who would cry when I'm gone.

I hope you’ll forgive me, sometimes I forget about you.

Perdido en el tiempo y la tierra

Sleepy Dahlia

Sara Corradi — 2024-10-26

"Sleepy Dahlia" follows the journey of acknowledging and accepting one’s identity as a whole. The speaker accepts damaged pieces of themselves as sites of growth and possible blooming. The poem challenges identity directly and exposes raw secrets, shedding light on the hidden. All is on the record to be heard, seen, and loved.

The Continuity of Parks

Lyka McAllister-Borchert — 2024-10-26

Through a story inside a story, fact and fiction collide. In the frame story, a man has just finished some "urgent business" in town and is returning to his home estate while reading a novel. Two lovers who gather in a lodge in the woods to destroy "that other body" are the subject of the novel he is reading, The Embedded Story. When one of the novel's protagonists, the embedded tale, inserts himself into the frame story's reality, the narrative's structure is disrupted.
