A Bolivian pianist discovers a cherry tree made of dreaming.

[Andrew Nadeau @TheAndrewNadeau]

The year is 2030. Bakery art is so realistic, literally anything could be cake. The uncertainty has gripped the world in fear. I go to hug my wife for comfort. She is cake.

[Compañerx Poeta @CompaPoeta]

From @_joseolivarez ‘s book “Citizen Illegal”

I think about this poem a lot. It’s that haunting sensation that hits home.

[Shira Erlichman @sheer_awe]

"Obligations 2" by Long Soldier redefines "poem" as "space for unfolding." Instead of a singular, correct way to read, we are thrown into agency. Which read is the path to healing? Which is the path of the grief, the grief, the grief, the grief? How do they connect &/or fissure?
