Join Cutleaf as we celebrate National Poetry Month with work from three distinct voices.
In this issue, Chiwan Choi tells us “the spirit in me, holy or not / tells me it’s time to punish myself / but i choose this instead — poetry” in a set of four poems titled “my name is wolf (but at what cost).”
R. B. Simon explores the reason the snake sheds its skin and why the crab forsakes its shell in “Molt” and other poems.
And Sylvia Woods breaks it down for all of us in four poems including “To Those Who Missed the Meeting.” Woods’ poems are excerpted from her debut collection, What We Take With Us, published this month from EastOver Press.
The images in this issue depict the planet Saturn, its moons, and its inner rings as captured by the Cassini spacecraft in 2013.
Multiple images of Saturn were taken by the Cassini spacecraft.
In the first image, Cassini slipped into Saturn’s shadow July 19, 2013, and turned to image the planet, seven of its moons, and its inner rings. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI
The second image is a false color reconstruction of the vortex of Saturn’s north polar storm. Measurements have sized the eye at 1,250 miles across with cloud speeds as fast as 330 miles per hour. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SSI.
Finally, a false-color composite image, constructed from data obtained by Cassini shows Saturn’s rings and southern hemisphere. The composite image was made from 65 individual observations by Cassini’s visual and infrared mapping spectrometer in the near-infrared portion of the light spectrum on Nov. 1, 2008. The observations were each six minutes long. Image credit: NASA/JPL/ASI/University of Arizona
