We bring you an all-poetry issue of Cutleaf this week in honor of National Poetry Month. In this issue, Laura Adrienne Brady uses ancient tales to tell the modern story of living with chronic disease in four poems beginning with “I Seek Healing in the Usual Places.” Paul Illechko celebrates the way weeds spread and how light shines through stained glass in five poems beginning with “Sonnet that Only Exists in the Tropics.” And Heather Treseler depicts why women are sometimes made to feel that they don’t belong in three poems beginning with “Still Life.” These poems are excerpted from Treseler’s new collection, Auguries & Divinations, available this week from Bauhan Publishing.
This issue features stills from Making Books, a 1947 documentary by Encyclopedia Britannica Films.
