“Avian Promises” – Madeleine Medeiros
Every spring, a pair of house finches return to our front porch to make a nest in the same hanging fern to lay eggs.The female has a narrow little frame with speckled brown feathers that fade into a dusty rose-red at the shoulder of her wings and lead to a smooth pink beak—as if she…

“Self Portrait (1984), Jean-Michel Basquiat” – Caleb Jean-Pierre
“Complexity and nuance is where the truth lies”- F.D. Contemporary art comments on modern society. It challenges what is and what should be. It is a critically unorganized critique of the structures we set for ourselves. “Then the LORD God formed the man out of the dust of the ground and blew into his nostrils…

“Man Like You” – https://soundcloud.com/chrisfusina/man-like-you
by Christopher Fusina I knew a boy that was swallowed by the sky by the flashing lights I knew a man that got lost in the big dark blue and came out alive Let me hold you with me wooden arms Don’t let the moment go by Let me hold you in my arms tonight…

Cycles- Katie Haig
After Todd Dillard and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost Leaves fall – the inside of an orange and red kaleidoscope. A red wagon rolls gently down a tired road. When did you get so tall? Have I grown shorter? A blue sled rests against a gray garage door. Crystalline flakes drift to join…

Shadows of Valor – Ciara Lieby
The young man watched out the window scanning the landscape beyond. The rolling hills and tall mountains stood in the distance, wide rivers flowed through the valley and through the dense forest. He turned his head from the valleys and mountains with a sigh. He was nervous, knowing what was to come, but no idea…

“The World We Know”- By Julie Dunn
Nothing lasts forever, this we know. Everyone in the world will find loss. Just as time is forever in existence, so is pain. Sooner or later, someone we love will go. This we knew before covid, and all the fear, Though the reality was far more bleak, Then we could have ever imagined, And we…

“The Tyranny of the Waters” – Miriam Da Ponte
Lost,beneath a still fragile surface, everything became space, all passed through meand I drowned in the void of his words,pushed further and further down toward the deep dark,toward sleep, toward death. What transcends then?Then,a single beam of light only made the night more dark,and so the late hours lengthened and so the hours passed more slow,not…

“A Mask’s Love”- By Liliana Sosnowski
A Mask’s Love I am a mask. A piece of cloth that has been used for decades, to prevent the spread of pathogens. From the Spanish Influenza to Covid-19, I have been a staple in protection. I only want to help. And yet there are those who throw me away. And exclaim how I harm…

“Healing”- Julia Prackup
A house must be demolished for a new one to be built, A glass must be emptied to be filled again, A canvas must be painted to become art. Those who fall, get back up,Those who fail, try again,Those who lose find themselves one step closer to winning. The flowers bloom after it rains,The sun…

“Season of Change”- Kelly Parker
Leaves changed from grasshopper greens to yearning yellows and opulent oranges. I changed from a fresh sapling to a mature tree- 18 year old to 21 year old me. Summers turned into falls, And I didn’t feel it passing at all. Seasons changed and I grew. Obstacles overcome, new friendships formed, and to myself I…
