from "One Lineage of Ice, Ravened"
Poem by Jari Thymian and art by Kate Baird
I
By moonlight, we skate on the lake's glass surface
on New Year's Eve 1968. My boyfriend orders
oysters on a half shell on a bed of ice.
II
Babe the Blue Ox is alive and well
in the frozen North. Ice hotels
have two-generation waiting lists.....

New art in the old world -- a Vector traveling to Venice, Italy sent us this image of a collaboration between poet Jonathan Fink and artist Lisa Sette Broadsided in April, 2006 posted at the base of a canal bridge in the Canareggio district. Have a photo to share? We'd love to see -- email it to us at broadsided@gmail.com. Nothing fancy required. We'll put it on the Vector Wall: (Gallery of Vectorhood)
