Happy pub day to THINGS I DIDN'T DO WITH THIS BODY

Happy pub day to THINGS I DIDN'T DO WITH THIS BODY by AMANDA GUNN (@amandagunn3)! Gunn pens poems that migrate from South to North, from elegy to prayer, from borrowed shame to self-acceptance. Writing with frankness and honesty, Gunn finds no thought, no memory, too private: a father’s verbal blow, a tense visit to a gynecologist’s table, the longing to be “erased/by a taxi at 50 miles an hour,” and grief at the loss of two former lovers, decades apart.

Forthcoming SEPTEMBER 2023: DREAM APARTMENT by @li

Forthcoming SEPTEMBER 2023: DREAM APARTMENT by @lisa_olstein #coverreveal

"Nancy Mims' "Moon Rapt" is from a mixed-media series devoted to cloud- and sky-scapes charged with an elegiac energy. Photographs taken on daily walks are enlarged, printed on fabric, then altered—pierced or wrapped or cut into strips and woven onto hand-strung looms—and set into antique frames scavenged from attics and sidewalks. These meticulous, exquisite alterations are the haunted heart of the work, intervening to make the observable world more strangely accurate by making visible the inevitably interpretive work of our apprehending—not just with our senses, but through memory, emotion, imagination. I love this piece's portal-like quality, the way it pulls the eye deep into its stormy dimension while the elegant but unruly black thread embraces and exceeds the frame. The uncanny way this complicates the record, inviting in other kinds of possibility, resonates with a deep current running through these poems." — OLSTEIN

Cover Design: Phil Kovacevich
Cover Art: Nancy Mims, Rapt Moon, 163⁄4 × 133⁄4 inches, iPhone photograph on linen-cotton, antique frame, crochet yarn.
