Border States
by Luke Cissell

To live on the border is to feel alive. It is to cross over and to be crossed over: to be both passive and active. It is to see and be seen: to observe with the invisibility of a hidden sentry and to be exposed like a trespasser in the searchlights. It is to be at once comfortable and uncomfortable: to be sure of oneself and to question everything all the time. To try to locate where the specific act of creativity occurs, one must navigate this peculiar territory.

Islands
by Emily Strauss
If an island is a place with sharp boundaries

a waterline with an edge between beginnings

and endings in its movement from sea to land

where exchanges occur

The Blue Appaloosas
by Nels Hanson

Sometimes at night when I wake I watch Emma calmly sleeping, her black, lovely Indian hair across her cheek and the white antler pendant between her breasts. I study her pretty, untroubled face, her soft lips and closed lids that are still, her shapely hands she holds palm to palm.

Ben Franklin (disambiguation)
by Joey Dean Hale

A noted polymath, Benjamin Franklin was an American statesman, auth­or, oilfield pumper, print­er, politician, post­master, musi­cian, satir­ist, diplo­mat, scientist, inventor, farmer, and also my neighbor. I studied him in depth at school then later he'd stop by our house to stash his beer.
