CRIT’s poetry editor, Jade Sylvan, has two recent online publications. The Pedestal Magazine has included an audio recording of her poem, Evolution. The title serves, among other things, as a metaphor for how the images in the poem are linked, a slow  shifting growth. Each image is strong in itself and visceral.

This trait is shared by her poem in Word Riot, A-Train, in which “that hideous vomiting girl on the subway” speaks to those who are able to define themselves by their difference (and eventually distance) from her.
