A Black man in a green tank top and black pants holds a crumpled balloon with a smiley against a dreamy purple sky. At his, he has a palm placed over a bright orange with its cross-section facing the viewer. The overall atmosphere is dreamy and colorful. At the top left corner is the following text: BLACK WARRIOR REVIEW FALL/WINTER 2024 51.1
