Sometimes we’re lucky to find a handful of pieces that seem as if they were made for one other. Each piece seasons the other, bringing out colors, flavors, an intangible force that takes us out of our bodies and into the universe. The collective warmth of this month’s selections is an hearty embrace that might just make your stomach growl.

Tara Monjazeb’s “Satellite” brings us the arc of the moon just in time for us to witness this month’s double supermoon. After basking in the moonlight or barking if you’re so inclined, you might follow this poet further into the sun as we begin “Walking Down the Flowered Path.”

Abbie Doll’s “plucking the white bouquet” wonders whether a harvest must be limited to earthbound delights.

If the secrets of the universe aren’t enough, why not indulge in something olfactory and tactile. Thomas Hobohm’s “About Cooking” will undoubtedly hit the spot, but do beware the bacon grease!

Sincerely,
