Paul Novak’s youth is an exploration of ghost stories as an inherently queer genre, imagining haunting as a metaphor for queer trauma. Liza Sobel Crane's Worth demonstrates how handling hardships creates character. Blair Boyd writes about being apart from the place you know. Eric Malmquist sets Illinois Poet Laureate Mark Turcotte's "Hawk Hour.” Asher Sizemore writes Everyone Dies in the Gender Reveal Apocalypse. Paradoxical Ode, from Andrei Skorobogatykh, is a poem about science, universe and death. Bliss, from Bradley Robin transforms from wanting to having and from innocence to wisdom, through a lyrical and musical journey inspired by Sondheim, Scriabin, Salvador Dali, and Santa Claus.
