David A. Poulsen: None So Deadly
It’s a case that has haunted Cullen and Cobb for years — the murder of eleven-year-old Faith Unruh.

Caroline Goodwin: Custody of the Eyes
I walked right out through the gate you left / after the rain folded back. And that which / gave permission also bestowed the burden. / So many nights without you, one would // think I’d be accustomed by now. And the book / of signs would be a solace, not an arrow.
Katherin Edwards: A Thin Band
A Thin Band examines the fine line between remembering and forgetting, the expected / unexpected, and the moments that we retain in altered forms filtered by memory. It is also an elegy to wonder and surprise at how we manage to live in the midst of grief and loss.
