Where do we go wrong with reality and not believing other people's mental health issues? — Freda Epum, in conversation with Rachel León."

'To make sense of the world, we stare / at what’s unrecognizable until it becomes familiar.' This line appears early on in Eduardo Martínez-Leyva’s Cowboy Park, setting us up for what snowballs into the lush performance of memory, masculinity, race, and the looking back all poets do, but perhaps not this expertly. Cowboy Park is a book concerned not just with memory, but with the act and effort of preserving — the table of contents is littered with portraits and still-lifes, scenes and odes.' — GABRIELLE GRACE HOGAN ON COWBOY PARK BY EDUARDO MARTÍNEZ-LEYVA." The book cover for Cowboy Park is set next to the review quote against a gradient pink background with a swirly red and pink abstract gradient shape. The orange Foglifter logo in centered on the bottom.

ALT A graphic that says, "Natasha Dennerstein reviews Bad Forecast by Steffan Triplett. 'Bad Forecast is a hybrid memoir set in Missouri, concerning childhood memories of a tornado that kills many people, including the boy that the young poet was romantically attached to. This is a brilliant collection on several levels. Steffan Triplett goes deep—very deep—in terms of understanding the genesis of his sexuality and in terms of the psychodynamics of childhood. Bad Forecast is a très queer collection in that it explores a childhood love between boys but, on a deeper level, it queers several boundaries: between prose and poetry, between past and present, between dream and reality, between imagination and fiction.'" The cover of Bad Forecast is set on a light purple, pink, and green gradient background with a squiggly gradient shape in green, blue, and orange. An orange Foglifter logo is in the bottom center.
