18:1 | Invisibility

Sometimes the obvious is before us and we don’t see anything. Something may or may not be present. At other times, we, ourselves, feel invisible. In our current world, people often fear that what is invisible is tangible, real, and perhaps a threat. At other times, the invisible may be something supernatural, a feeling, a movement to, or from, a dream-world. What are some of your encounters with the “invisible”?

This issue features an interview with Canisia Lubrin and excellent new poems by Leland James, Roxanna Bennett, George Elliott Clarke, Shazia Hafiz Ramji and more.
