Imagination’s Prescience
that moment at dusk
when birds look like bats, before
the moment they are

Perhaps he needs
a dream-trap. Joshua
hears them rustling
in the night, between
rooms, inside walls.
But what flavor of
bait, and how long
the sprung blade?
In Post-colony
Each footstep fizzles
away what little magic
clings to barely-dancing
heels. Down where side
walks should be, yet
definitively are not.

Joshua M. Hall earned his Ph.D. from Vanderbilt University, and his research focuses various historical and geographical lenses on philosophy's boundaries, particularly the intersection of aesthetics, psychology and social justice. This includes seventy-eight peer-reviewed journal articles (including in The Pluralist, Philosophy and Literature, and Oxford University’s Essays in Criticism), four of which have recently been republished in Spanish translation, and coediting (with Sarah Tyson) Philosophy Imprisoned: The Love of Wisdom in the Age of Mass Incarceration. Finally, his related work in the arts includes a nomination (by the editors of Verdad literary journal) for inclusion in the 16th annual Best of the Net Anthology, one mini-chapbook collection (Bachata Adobe), and poems in numerous literary journals (including North Dakota Quarterly, Folio, Off the Coast, and Roanoke Review), along with thirty years’ experience in dance.
