Essay on Craft
by OCEAN VUONG
Because the butterfly's yellow wing flickering in black mud was a word stranded by its language. Because no one else was coming I ran out of reasons. So I gathered fistfuls of ash, dark as ink, hammered them into marrow, into a skull thick enough to keep the gentle curse of dreams. Yes, I aimed for mercy but came only close as building a cage around the heart. Shutters over the eyes. Yes, I gave it hands despite knowing that to stretch that clay slab into five blades of light, I would go too far. Because I, too, needed a place to hold me. So I dipped my fingers back into the fire, pried open the lower face until the wound widened into a throat, until every leaf shook silver with that god -awful scream & I was done. & it was human.

The Gift
by Deborah Gerrish
The Gift For Gerald Stern by Deborah Gerrish. The world is but canvas to our imaginations. —Henry David Thoreau I made you a poem packed with galaxies out of map-green tint from the nettle tree— swaddled in bark of birch silky scent, twined in spirals with milk-white parchment. I stitched in bright berries from holly the high-pitched qui-qui of brown coqui, wove diaphanous shells of cicadas falling chimes of rain from La Paz, robed it with flossy ribbons of peony petals and phlox. Another world of other worlds I place on your doorstep in the evening’s haze. Quietly. Listen past the music against the scented page—Let it whisper.
