National Poetry Month is off to a fantastic start! This is Volume 1 Issue 1 of Only Human: English Language Senryu. The cover image features a bokeh of warm light and figures in a crowd. Two in the center appear to be facing left, wearing jacket, and holding hands. Alongside the cover, floating in white space on the right, I placed one of my two senryu published in the issue: candle meditation a lace moth smacks my face
