Carter continues their poetic forays into trauma, grief, and vulnerability. In their latest chapbook, \u003cem\u003eTo Flash \u0026amp; Flutter\u003c\/em\u003e, readers journey into a single long-form poem, whose speaker seeks out healing and discovery as part \nof an ayahuasca ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eViolent visuals, trippy geometric shapes, and intense personal flashbacks are intermixed with revealing encounters with a celestial hummingbird, an intimate conversation with Marilyn Monroe, and a visit with a wise whale. Like a real psychedelic trip, fast-moving scenes and images can leave one feeling a bit scattered, but there is more-than-enough meaning and revelation to be found underneath the chaotic surface of this journey inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eCharles K.
