A Future Perfect
By Razielle Aigen

A Future Perfect operates, like a zoetrope, on the logic of the persistence of vision, joining the successive repetition of absence and presence. Like the sound of rain on a surreal windowpane, these poems constellate between the symbolic order of dreams and the imaginative space of figurative meaning – yet…

still
By Anahita Jamali Rad

still interrogates alienated interiority. It begins with a body, with materiality that slowly morphs, extends, spills, and oozes.

time of crisis – what non-doing undoes.

Then Now
By Daphne Marlatt
