Dear readers, do you sometimes read poems? Then again, who says that poetry should (only) be read? Like John Giorno, we focus on the powers of the human voice, performed as spoken word, recorded, broadcasted, reverberated. Alexis Pauline Gumbs, in her upcoming biography of Audre Lorde, speaks of "survival poetics." Poetics and politics cross paths, as we hope our pages will likewise do.
This issue comes with two different covers, randomly distributed.
