BOMBlog’s Word Choice features original works of poetry, fiction, and art. This edition of Word Choice, selected by BOMB intern Katherine Sanders, features poetry by Andrew Naymark and art by Mary Murphy.

Writing a letter these days seems to be a tribute to nostalgia rather than an efficient means of communication. I almost always choose to text or email rather than actually write or type a letter. But I decided to write a long letter to a friend after reading Andrew Naymark’s poem “Letter.” The poem taps into the transitory yet life-altering realm of this often forgotten art and reminds us that “some beauty has failed to be recognized” when we fail to send a letter.
