Slant of Light: Poetic Vignettes

As fall turned to winter, photographer Juli Leonard visited the
JC Raulston Arboretum. North Carolina Poet Laureate Jaki Shelton Green
created poetic vignettes inspired by the images she captured.

The children are always listening...
Tangled. Wild Violet...
Open the hidden hand...
Permission of the plants...
...the fluttering of wings...
A single slant of light...
Dawn whispers itself into the day...
Come closer...
The prancing light at dusk...
Sun bends the edges...
We. all the veils waiting to be lifted.

Triangle musical duo Daniel Cook & Autumn Brand (f Triangle musical duo Daniel Cook & Autumn Brand (formerly New Reveille) have swapped country rock for a back-to-the-dance-club vibe with their new album Minefields. "Cook & Brand’s latest music is more like something you’d hear in a dance club circa 1980, segued between New Order & Modern English. Chilly & atmospheric, well-crafted synth-pop that’s heavy on vintage sonic textures — which is why they’re calling the new band The One Eighties," writes David Menconi in our September issue.
