she became/ a foaming of wave/ a froth of tide/ an erased border— "Ocean Vengeance", a stunningly cathartic poem by @mspicone.bsky.social immerses readers in acts, large and small, of ocean reclamation.

We at The Chestnut Review are trying to raise $1,000 to subsidize a spot in our 2025 retreat, which will be held in Riga, Latvia. While a writing retreat can be transformative, it's also cost prohibitive for many. Please consider donating if you can: fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/chestnut-rev...
