The second installment of our column, "Mixes from the Editor." Every month, our Editor-in-Chief will compile the songs she's been vibing and present them as a playlist for your listening pleasure. Mixes will be named after our EIC's favorite poems.

This month's poem is "Beast Litany" by Carly Joy Miller, originally published in Nashville Review:

Desire, war coax, 
thrum of God
