As this week’s contributors show, beauty is all around you, should you only look.

Donald Gaither’s haiku, “Duet,” provides a succinct look at a luminescent moment.

David Filer’s prose poem, “Mine,” reflects on everyday poetry after a chance discovery.

Ho Cheung Lee’s concrete poem, “Follow the Flow,” pays tribute to a master of calligraphy.
