Featured Essay · by Kim Kieler
The Old Rhythm of Return
At sunset, the sunlight retreats from the leaded glass window, withdrawing pane by pane, as though the day is folding itself away. A fabric of darkness floats downward. In the dimming air, silhouettes of wings pass and vanish. Birds seek home, seek branch, seek the safe dark of the roost.
Read the essay
“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.”
