Digital broadside of a poem by Jory Mickelson in ballast issue 3.4. Black text on light pink background with black curly line on right side. Text of poem reads “So maybe a hotel room's really a pastoral. It's all there right on the surface. So, pastoral with comforter & pillow. Pastoral with telephone on the nightstand. Pastoral with stranger's pubic hair on the gleaming toilet seat.”

Yellow graphic featuring poet David Koehn with a poem excerpt from “Horse in Field Under Power Lines Quatern.” The poem reads: “I’ve been told everything is in transition today / Storm cloud diminishing, optimisms, your death arrives today / Rutabagas, parsnips, deviled eggs, a gun appeared in the mirror today.” Below the text are illustrations of two deviled eggs. The bottom right corner shows “ballast 3.4” and “ballastjournal.com.”

Text from Ted Jean’s poem “Ecclesiastes” from ballast issue 3.4. Black text in green background with silhouette of a frog in bottom left corner. Poem’s text reads as follows: you become aware of frog song on every hand the pond you know and those you don’t, the ditches the chorus seems to celebrate
