From “Elemental Gratitude” by Eric Gansworth in the June 2018 Native Poets issueofPoetry.
[image: First image is a drawing of a round plaque mounted on a stone wall with a fish or an eel curled in a circle and eating its own tail, encircling an image of a purple human figure with concentric red hearts. Below the plaque is a pool of water and a small fire; above it, a lightning storm can be seen through a hole in the wall. Second image is a drawing of two people in profile looking to the right. There are what appears to be atomic or celestial models in the top right and lower left corners. Above the people, a brain is split open down the middle like a geode and a string of steam or smoke connects the two halves. Top right above the brain is text that reads, “The Corpus Callosum allows for communication between the seat of reason and the land of DREAMS.”]

“Quilts”byLayli Long Soldier from the June 2018 Native Poets issue of Poetry.
[image: First image is a wide shot of two quilts hanging on a wall, both are in the shape of eight-pointed stars. One quilt’s bottom half is black and the top has one quadrant of white and one red with black and white markings all over and a smaller eight-pointed star in the center (top half yellow and bottom half white); the other quilt is all black and white. Second image is a close up of the color quilt’s center star, revealing that the markings are pressed insects. Third image is a close up of the black quilt, which has an all-black center star with buffalo and shapes around it. Fourth image show that the markings on the black quilt are words, perhaps forming a poem.]

“Series of Pictures” by Joel Lipman, published in the May 2018 issue of Poetry.
[image: Yellowing pages of what appears to be a dictionary. The page includes the entries from “incubus” to “knee,” and some of the entries include illustrations. Stamped over the page in blue letters are the words, “SERIES OF PICTURES SHOWN IN QUICK SUCCESSION.” Some of the words have stamped red arrows pointing from them to other words, additional stamped images in other colors, or the illustrations on the page.]

A selection from Dora Malech’s “TEST” in the May 2018 issue of Poetry.
[image: Black line work of varying details and textures on a white background. First segment features block text made of small geometric lines, “AS BABY/ TESTS/ AT BEST/ ABYSS.” Second segment is more spaced out, the text varying between stencil-like outlines and typewriter font. Some stencils letters are bunched together so as to make the words unclear. Clear text reads, “Had no fuel–/I’m/A/Sinner/written off/as a minor note.”]
