Salt Water
By Laura Johanna Braverman
Cosmographia Books

Salt Water navigates loss, of a much loved other, and the self
and body’s primal intact state. Rebuilding follows fragmenta-
tion, upon which history, memory, place, and nature all exert
influence. Healing may lead to renewal, but no stable end-state
exists—the making and re-making of self is in continual flux.

A Net to Hold the Wind
By Memye Curtis Tucker
Main Street Rag, Editor’s Choice Chapbook Series

“Beauty alone cannot heal a blinded world.” This line comes
in the center of this (yes) beautiful sequence of poems and
radiates its complications out from it.”—Nick Flynn. “Tucker’s
intelligence and sharp eye, the precision and beauty of her lan-
guage and masterful storytelling are her net. To read these poems
is to see ‘behind everything a radiance.’”—Tara Bray.
