    Jennifer Habel

    Spring 2019

    Down into the pasture
    To “Mother Palmer’s”
    Out on to the pond

    To the southlane
    To Southwick
    To town

    Up to Grandmother’s
    Up to witness the opening of the sabbath school box
    Up to see Alice according to agreement

    Emerson's Eyes

    Louisa Thomas

    In the spring of 1825, a month after moving into a room in Cambridge and registering for Harvard Divinity School, Ralph Waldo Emerson began to lose his sight. He was not blind, but his vision was impaired enough that reading and study were impossible.

    And They Lived

    Taije Silverman

    I want a story to keep me company while you stare at your phone in bed.
    Any story. That a man named Solon planned the whole city of Athens
    while in love with his mother’s friend’s son. He broke his hand once
    trying to catch a turtle which had slipped from the roof of a temple

    is what I want to be told while you play scrabble against any number
    of people you haven’t seen in years
