    LeHew, Laura
    Wild Age Press, www.wildagepress.com, an independent literary publisher, is proud to announce SALT. This single poem by OPA member Laura LeHew is about wounds visible and invisible, about illusion and disillusion, about running into truth. The poem is presented as a 6 1/2” x 8” broadsheet printed on high-quality 120 lb paper accompanied by a 4 oz. glass bottle of lemon verbena bath salts. An excerpt from SALT (all rights reserved): “in the end they retrieve their parent’s guns barrels on tongues pull the triggers salt dries the cells until they are dead”
