It’s been two years; everything’s different, the weather’s better, it seems like. Publishing the poetry and design we did in 2019 felt like a celebration of the arts and people we were focusing on. This time we want to take a step back. A year of nothing allows you a little more deliberation with what you’re doing. We’re letting awareness enfold the work. Is there anything there? Get empty. Pour it all out. Whatever form you take up we’ll peruse—just make sure it’s hollow.
