3 Vol. 21 Issue In this issue, Matt Cashion’s characters sweat it out in a waiting room in “Love Song for the Headless.” Jennifer LoveGrove reminds us that “it’s embarrassing to still hope / to be loved” in three poems beginning with “We are all touch-me-nots now, exploding at the slightest provocation.” And Mary Winsor examines how hard it is to be at the bedside of a miracle in “Defying the Gods.” This issue features Halloween postcards from the collection of the New York Public Library.
