been following the work of @whoastanderson.bsky.social for some time now…theirs is razor sharp, but filled with playfulness, with discovery: just a truly wonderful poet who should be on your radar. and they will be now if they are not. this is ‘sideswipe’

Artists from Maryland's 2025 Best of the Net noms!

POETRY: Otis Sprow, Patricia Adelizzi, Kay Mi, @matoro.bsky.social, @whoastanderson.bsky.social, Breasia "Bree" Boyd

CNF: Hayley Igarashi Thomas, Kelci Tillman

ART: @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social, @eldritchjellyfish.bsky.social, Judith Skillman
Artists from Maryland 2025 Best of the Net Nominations “When a long supply of city blocks lies in front of you, notice how each door you pass tells a different story.” Otis Sprow, “For Beginnings” “shhh! listen for what you can hear as the farmer silences his machine” Patricia Adelizzi, “ditchin’ days” “& this time, i am so lonely. i have all the time in the world to anticipate what’s outside: the frost rushing beneath our skins, & the moon, so the moon.” Kay Mi, “it’s april again” Artists from Maryland 2025 Best of the Net Nominations “This is not a winless team, but we’re dogshit.“ Matthew Herskovitz, “Father’s Day at Camden Yards (June 2021)” “fifty tiny crabs a hundred       three       thousand warmed into the sun" stephanie anderson, “blue crabs get smote again” “because the raunchy lyrics with heavy beats make it all too indecent.” Breasia “Bree” Boyd, “You Can’t Play Too $hort at the Family Cookout” Artists from Maryland 2025 Best of the Net Nominations “The soundtrack of my anxiety is the beating of an imperfect heart. I do not know how valves or septums work, but I can close my eyes and feel the rhythm of blood, flowing back and forth, in and out, where it's wanted and where it's not.” Hayley Igarashi Thomas, “Thanks for Your Patience” “Sundays used to be the pinnacle of the week, of our existence really, but things have changed and slowly, with time and age, we’ve shifted and are shifting still. The Baltimore Farmers Market and Bazaar happens every Sunday, a place where we can be fed.“ Kelci Tillman, “ditchin’ days” Artists from Maryland 2025 Best of the Net Nominations “Meadow, after Dion Salvador Lloyd” is oil on board, 11” x 14”. I was struck by the beauty of this pastoral scene and used brushes to render shades of green and cream, punctuated by bales of hay or simply otherwise mysterious marks. The grasses were done with a palette knife. I am fascinated by imaginary and real journeys, and like to think of the top upper left green as a pathway off the rectangle. Judith Skillman, "Meadow, after Dion Salvador Lloyd" From black paper and graphite, augmented with digital highlights and unnatural colours. Creatures stare curiously, maybe hungrily at you from the darkness. Hidden in the shadows of a forest that doesn't yet exist; drifting beneath the illusion. Kyrico, "Unfinished Tree" A photograph of the afternoon light casting shadows through the ceiling windows at the American Visionary Arts Museum. nat raum, "untitled"
