Exhibit 5.20

A few journals that have recently come out.

Handsome.
This is Handsome's first issue, and it's pretty much fantastic. A large magazine style format? Check. Old-timey art? Check. Two poems that take stock of buoyancy? Check mate.

Jeff Downey:
Shortfall pulls glitter from the ground
Sort of drawstringing
An entire encore buoyant in winter
Dead marine words but fleetingly
How has it I have never been to the ocean

Julie Doxsee:
Only nylon
buoys you

I'm telling you now, you'll want to make sure you get in on Handsome at the beginning.

Redactions.
This issue of Redactions contains an exceedingly well done tribute to W.S. Merwin. They even have a special font. Good stuff.


Redivider.
Despite the picture, this one isn't actually tiny. In fact, it's full of big ideas and big words. Some words from this new issue of Redivider:

Thirsts
Rawness
Overcooked
Flagellum
Appaloosa
Wheezing
Pussytoes

I have MUtDs in all of these journals, but I'm only dragging them down.
