Graphic Lit Editor’s Note

by Drai Whitted

Continuing our Graphic Lit tradition of bringing you a variety of art styles and topics,  Laura Catherine Brown’s Kicked starts with a visual boot in our faces and proceeds to transport us to the backseat of the car with her and her sisters and the ensuing chaos of  sibling rivalry. Her bright imagery and elegant poetic treatment offers us a window into her emotions in this powerful childhood memory.

On a completely different note, Jenny Belin’s Sonnets for Sweet Potatoes includes lovely painted portraits of cats along with sonnets offering poetic views into ” a New York Cat’s headspace, longings, psychology, and philosophical musings.” Enjoy.
