The storm began with the soft patter of rain, like the feet
of a dozen children rebounding concrete…

I like the way “rust lockets” in Kailey Tedesco’s poem surreptitiously places “rockets” in the back of your mind. We’re in space; you want it to be rockets, but no. It’s rust lockets. That’s difficult and better. 🙂

I’m always struck by Kailey Tedesco’s balance of delicacy & darkness, and her poem “The Textbooks will Tell You the Moon is a Face” is a perfect example of that.

I would like to thank Corie Adjmi for writing about Lyme Disease and the affect it can have on a woman and her family. I have a close family member who has chronic Lyme, and this story of pain and struggle is all too real to me. Stories like these can raise awareness and help others going through similar experiences. Adjmi captured the fear, desperation and will to heal beautifully in “Tick Tock.”
