"What Dark, Foreign Wind?" by Jason Ryberg

What Dark, Foreign Wind?

A small, incandescent butterfly, at the center

of a crossroads in a dream that

we can’t quite tell whether it’s going to be good or

bad, yet. What dark, foreign wind brought

you to us and where

will it be

taking

you

next?

Jason Ryberg is the author of twenty-two books of

poetry, six screenplays, a few short stories, a box full

of folders, notebooks and scraps of paper that could

one day be (loosely) construed as a novel, and countless

love letters (never sent). He is currently an artist-in-

residence at both The Prospero Institute of Disquieted

P/o/e/t/i/c/s and the Osage Arts Community, and is an

editor and designer at Spartan Books. His latest collection of poems is “Bullet Holes

in the Mailbox (Cigarette Burns in the Sheets) Back of the

Class Press, 2024)).”
