SALT.8 is out, featuring a poem I wrote while researching structures of paranoia and conspiracy theory. it's partly based on a dream about an AWOL soldier and crochet and it's called :
PARANOIA . IS . NOT . JUST . AN .
INTERPRETIVE . STANCE . BUT . A
. DISCOURSE . ABOUT . AGENCY .
+ essays by Thea Smith, Rózsa Farkas, Hannah Regel, Madeline Stack, Jala Wahid. + i totally love Lyle St's ballsy excellent poems. Hazzah.
