June 1 Collaboration: "My Father's Hearing Aid," poem by Adam Chiles, art by Cheryl Gross

Dear Vectors and Friends,

Happy June -- this month's collaboration is in honor of all the sounds of the month. Birds, wind in leafed-out trees, neighbors (for good or ill). We think there should be more odes to the objects that make the daily lives of so many of us richer and more connected to the beautiful, strange world we live in.

NOTE: We are going to be phasing out this newsletter in favor of a MailChimp run service. This is part of our overall website upgrade -- we want to make things cleaner, easier, and better. The new website will launch in a week or so. Please make sure you SUBSCRIBE. Use this link: http://eepurl.com/cJsrD9
