Fishing Tiny black figures peer down
from the dark dream cloud,
cast a line to my dry bed
I can climb. Sleep woos,
eyes close again; I don't
know where I'm going.
but I’m hooked. ---

Betsy Mars is a prize-winning poet, a relentless photographer, and an assistant editor at Gyroscope Review. Mars studied Psychology as an undergraduate and Communications Management as a graduate student but has worked in neither field. Her poems have recently appeared in ONE ART, Sheila-Na-Gig, Autumn Sky, and several anthologies. Her photos have been published in various places online and in print, including one that was featured as an ekphrastic prompt for Rattle. Betsy Mars has written two chapbooks—Alinea and In the Muddle of the Night, co-authored with Alan Walowitz—and is looking for a home for her full-length manuscript, Rue Obscure.
