In "Night Polo," @caleyodwyer_art furthers his study of the ephemeralities of life reflected in an ever-wheeling night sky.

The close darkness and chaos of a ship tossed on a stormy sea enfolds the sensual details of the conflicted narrator's voice in @redvelvetlungs' "Revelation of the Damned."

Asymmetrical repetitions and fractal images of bounded oceans and skies make "Portrait of a Blackhole" a complex imagining of concrete oblivions, from the pen of @saintjakeowitz.

The marking and measuring of contradictory cycles, within and without, shapes the rhythm of @ayescobe's "In Isolation (Drinking Too Much Again) After Dinah Washington’s ‘Drinking Again.’

The new moon this weekend has us thinking about @caleyodwyer_art's celestial existentialism in "Death Ruins It."

Scrolling through the Friday night feed with @thepoetnotarockstar's "Verses Almost Sent to a Lingering Flame" on our mind.

Life's everyday, almost-absurd complexities and anxieties are presented with unflinching candor in @saintjakeowitz's "Portrait of the Mundane."

Spending Friday night with @caleyodwyer_art's masterful examination of the delicately finite and powerfully infinite spaces within oneself in "Certainly Valsartan."

@twohawksquarterly, the Lit Mag where a lot of Sentience's editors cut their teeth, has just released their fabulous Spring 2021 issue! 🎉🦅📖🦅🎉

Fiction Editor @missguided_ink muses on discordant points of view and what harmonizes the human experience in her short story "Piano Forte."
