This contemplative, early-morning poem by Mary Wehner, The Chinese Painting, written at the edge of a Lake Winnebago in Wisconsin, evokes that pensive and peaceful moment at sunrise treasured by many.

Birmingham artist Jane Marshall has studied the forms and habits of swans, the leading characters here, and gives us two drawings—sketches really—loose and full of motion.
