Ice Drip

For many across the United States, winter has been relentless, but now we finally see hope for warmer days ahead. Our contributors this week take us through the seasonal change.

Kevin Kiely’s poem, “Abstract Hangover with Glass of Water,” is a blurry landscape of a wintry morning, viewed from inside.

Leslie Philibert’s poem, “Lost Time,” is a meditation on Spring and life’s journey.

The short poem by TWIXT, “Nylon Rain,” captures the effects of lights during a rain shower.
