Grayscale geometric design with glyphs that almost look like words. The "words" "kinship" and "adjoining" can be made out, but not many others.

It broke my heart to write this poem, and I would give it back if I could reverse my brother's death or my mom's diagnosis. But it doesn't work like that. So I'm trying to open my hands to the joy of having a poem in @thenation.com. Thank you, Kaveh Akbar, et al.

I always look forward to the 15th of the month bc: NEW SPLIT LIP ISSUE! This one is truly phenomenal. Every single piece will resonate for a long time. I especially want to draw your eyes to the poignant concrete poem by Mingyu Brian Chan. We accepted it when the poet was in high school!

Front view: A worn and stained image of a pale blue Victorian house, fragmented and partly reconstructed on a birch sheet, laser-cut to the house’s shapes and into long strips intersecting with the architecture and an integrated frame.

Sometimes I say "the poem speaks for itself" and what I really mean is like one of those possessed puppets in a horror film.
