Solar by Luisa A. Igloria
"And why should we not thank the sun / for life and warmth it lavishes on all / regardless of caste or class"
Because by Grace Schulman
"Because, in a wounded universe, the tufts / of grass still glisten, the first daffodil / shoots up through ice-melt
Happiness by Raymond Carver
"Such beauty that for a minute / death and ambition, even love, / doesn't enter into this."
God Says Yes To Me by Kaylin Haught
"and she said honey / she calls me that sometimes / she said you can do just exactly / what you want to"
