Terese had two poems— "Sea Urchin" and "Inchoate" — published in Volume 3:1. Below is an excerpt from "Sea Urchin":

The sea urchin’s brain
has been overhyped

[...]

Only he can breathe 

through adhesive tubes 

that double as his feet,

and these may be found 

at the ends of spines

through which his toes can eat.
