Theme: Identity

“In this issue, no one’s identity is certain. We have guests at a resort who are each given the name and persona of someone buried in the graveyard to use during their stay, a woman about to give birth who cannot remember how she became pregnant or how she arrived here, a luthier changing face to perfect his craft, and a fish gazing up with a distorted eye through the eternal murk. Our poets bring us places that burn, a booming foghorn, a sublimating face, and vigilant and ghostly math.”
