Lotus in Chinese lagoon,
between terra and firmament,
trying to escape the one-footed crane
standing fast until first fallen snow.

–Tom Frazier

“This small book would make any subway ride a treat for 270 days until you start over.[…] as W.C. Williams said in “Asphodel That Greeny Flower” (paraphrased) it has all the news that people die miserably everyday for the lack of what is found there.”

-Grace Cavalieri,
