Chet\\u2019la Sebree leads us to acknowledge liminal spaces, those places that are not quite one thing or another, moments of transition and not-yet that have become so familiar to us throughout the pandemic. Sebree introduces Camille T. Dungy\\u2019s recognition that grief relentlessly intrudes on joy (\\u201cNotes on What Is Always with Us\\u201d), Brenda Shaughnessy\\u2019s reflection on the difficulties of understanding time (\\u201cThree Summers Mark Only Two Years\\u201d), and Ada Lim\\xf3n\\u2019s transformative rendering of relationships (\\u201cWhat I Didn\\u2019t Know Before\\u201d). Sebree closes with a new poem of her own on liminality, \\u201cBlue Opening.\\u201d\\xa0
