Hamsters. Peter Saaarsgaaaard. Cherry blossoms. Erasure’s “Chains of Love.” Some things are stand-alone fantastic.

Excellent poems by Alex Lemon, Kate Schapira, KC Trommer, Karyna McGlynn, Sean Norton, Bronwen Tate, Jennifer Metsker…and six plump chocolates with flavors like honey pistachio and cayenne.
