Congratulations to Justin Bishop & Ruta Kuzmickas, the winners of our March 2018 Monthly Contest themed The Lost Hour! This month's submissions render time in a myriad of complex ways. In "Tick-Tock," we see a manifestation of what the breakdown of time might look like, characterized through a distinctive figure and a bold clock face that looms ominously in the background. In response, the elegant images of "Montrose" carry with them a weight and a temporality that makes us linger for just a moment longer, leaving us poised on an intimate moment of loss at the end. View these lovely works below, and make sure to check out our newest issue of R2: The Rice Review in a couple of weeks when it gets released! "Tick-Tock" by Justin Bishop & "Montrose" by Ruta Kuzmickas elderly oaks lining
north boulevard, bellies full after days of sweet rain wet limbs covered in resurrected ferns, scabrous bodies refracting ripe mandarin bulbs, electrical understudies for the moon while her silver back is turned soft orange fever glow that fights the dark between these oaks, I want to ask you: who turns you on at sundown who turns you off at breakfast how many shadows do you turn around each body as it passes walking home alone at night how many moons have you replaced how does it feel how does it feel to be without her
