If A Carp Dreams Of The Milky Way
Poetry by Jasmine Gui
Layout and linocut print by Brianna Tosswill
There is an old Chinese idiom that says, if a carp is able to swim upstream against the Yellow River and leap over the waterfall, it will transform into a dragon."If a Carp Dreams of the Milky Way by Jasmine Gui is a long meditative poem on grief, and the limitations of language to hold such grief.
This chapbook comes in an accordion-folded structure meant to mimic the vertical fluidity of a scroll.

Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines
Poetry by Natalie Wee
Illustrations and Layout by Ryookyung Kim
Special print by Wenting Li
A survival manifesto and celebration song both, Our Bodies & Other Fine Machines by Natalie Wee, special edition, is re-imagined as both poetry collection and art object. Featuring never-before-seen poems and re-interpreted older poems, this edition asks us to consider what it means to exist in bodies that are pathways to extremes of grief and joy. Illustrating the body as a site of resistance, lineage, and testimony, this collection invites you to explore both the tremendous suffering and radiant possibilities of living: “watch me swallow / the hardest thing / my body has made / & live.”
