The Cedarville Review 2018

POETRY AND VISUAL ART 19 And I take it for granted The times I had to choose.

But I have the formative experiences Which allow the concept of tapes and film To filter into my mind the nostalgia of The Family Video rental store And of black plastic boxes that might Melt in the sun on hot days.
