Issue number 9 features a pool player on its teeny tiny cover with the words “for Healthful Recreation.” Dedicated to the over-heard snippet, the found gem. Here’s Cherl Holzmeyer wishing us:

Good Morning

Are there people who wake
to words like mango and magenta?
What kinds of days do they live?
How did you end up dreaming
from the alleys behind their homes?

Tucked away in the teeny tiny envelope was a teeny tiny chapbook from Amanda Laughtland herself, endearingly titled Free. The inspiration for this series of found poems came from ads posted on craigslist.

Free Reading Pillow

I think they call these husbands.
I’m not certain, but this pillow

is comfortable and made of courduroy.
I paid forthy dollars for it and now

I want you to take it. I never
have time to read in bed anymore.
