The newest mantis in a rush to meet the new world,
unsure if she is predator or prey.

The mantids started emerging yesterday. A busy spring,
500 egrets and thousands of mantis babies.

The Night Market came to Detroit Saturday night:
Music, art & trucks in a secret location disclosed only hours before.
Sideshows and art environments, mobile and temporary,
a carnival for adults, evaporating before dawn.

Kathe Koja on stage:

After her shadow went missing, an ant
is stranded between worlds, a slave
to the spell of circles.

A young runaway in a new world, a Dog-day Cicada
wakes the sky from its sleep.

Pulling the strings of the night, a Jewel spider
captures angels lost in every dark corner.
