In this issue, Lawrence Bridges proves “there’s not nothing today / by noting things that were and still are” in four poems beginning with “Ghost Love Child.” Bonnie Lander Johnson explores how the past and present collide in our understanding of tragedy—ours and those of the others—in “blackwhite.” And Annie Lindenberg explores a family Thanksgiving, dyed blue hair, a brother’s remission, and the virtue of IPAs in “From the Dinner Table.”
