“Seagull” wins Bat City Review Editor's Prize

“Seagull” is a visual poem written and designed by Monica Ong now available as a broadside at Proxima Vera.

Volume 18 of Bat City Review just dropped this week and features my visual poem “Seagull” as winner of the Bat City Review Editor’s Prize in Hybrid Work. The poem begins with “It is I, Seagull,” the first words uttered by the first woman in space, Valentina Tereshkova who was aboard the the Vostok 6 on August 16, 1963.

To celebrate this issue, I am also releasing Seagull at Proxima Vera as a limited edition giclée broadside.
