On This Day in History: October 9, 1959: Yayoi Kusama opened her first solo New York exhibition at Brata Gallery, showing five large white Infinity Net paintings - similar to the red one featured here. In spite of that, it would be thirty more years before she was fully embraced by the art world.

John Hunter is a Black poet who lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his partner and a very polite Chihuahua. He’s worked in oncology research and collegiate athletics, so naturally he turned to poetry. His work appears in The Marbled Sigh.

MARIPOSA - #Poetry by James
Hannon

“Do they reflect
on this weird experience?
I know. I know.
Hard-wired for all this.
Get born,
learn to work the milkweed,
eat, breed, and die
or fly, and which is worse?”

DECISIONS - #Poetry by V. Bray

“Red, blue, gray, purple spines all containing
revisions over decades, centuries:
arguments rewritten repeatedly
to frame savagery and violence
into an acceptable context.”

I started getting National Geographic (which I love) and Smithsonian (which is ok). My kids get NatGeo Kids, Ranger Rick Dinosaurs, The Week Junior, SwimSwam, and Chickens among them (some we’ll do again, some not). My spouse gets Adventure Journal. I’ve never heard of American Road…
