A large white and gray tabby looks out from the open mouth of a brown paper shopping bag.
A calico cat looks up at you brightly with her green eyes. She is standing on a cardboard scratching toy and the window behind her shows yellow forsythia blooms.
On a bookshelf shared with Coleridge and Dante, is a poetry collection titled Folkish, by Kym Devn.Twisting on the chartreuse cover is a serpentine creature in black and white, its motion somehow both playful and unsettling. Looking at it, you know you’re in for a wild ride.

Blue sky, winter sun, snow, mist, and the brink of the American Falls from the overlook in Niagara Falls State Park, New York State. In the distance, you can see bare trees, their branches coated in frozen mist.

Peach tee shirt with the word cisn’t spelled out in the colors of the genderqueer flag—purple, white, green.
A mess of mostly dead pine branches interlock over the image of a ladderback woodpecker whose brilliant red head can just be seen near one of three pine tree trunks near the center of the image.

Painting of an interior space. A girl has abandoned her knitting on the table beside her in favor of reading a large, hardcover book. She is glancing up from the book at the viewer with a sly, self-satisfied, joyful expression, not caring that she has been caught reading instead of working. A caption in the upper righthand corner of the painting reads: Live so that if your life was turned into a book Florida would ban it.
Langston Hughes’ poem “Question [1]” When the old junk man Death Comes to gather up our bodies And toss them into the sack of oblivion, I wonder if he will find The corpse of a white multi-millionaire Worth more pennies of eternity, Than the black torso of A Negro cotton-picker?
