“I say, Minidoka\u2014<\/span>
what the birds mean is that
there is no such thing
as safety, barely shelter.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Shamala and Todd’s poems sing in the dark. They whisper quietly in the mind’s ear, masterfully and unflinchingly tuning image and syntax line by line. Their tightly crafted openings and endings deliver a powerful gut punch each time we read them, and we’re so grateful to have gotten the chance to publish these two beautiful pieces this year.

Congratulations, Shamala and Todd, and we wish you the very best of luck in the Best of the Net selection process! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
