Poetry

Poetry is a gentle reminder of what exists in the spaces which do not conform to the common rules of grammar and language. It’s a liberated form of writing which extends a hand to the charm of breaking free from traditional writing etiquette. The beauty of poetry is rooted in its diversion from the schools of thought which expect you to maintain an idea and portray it in a way that is digestible and predictable. We want to see work which is loud, authentic, and imperfect.

“Your clothes / hold your figure even / when stripped of your skin. / Belt buckle and shoelaces— / sunlight is coming / to tell us we’re drowning. / You move like a sip of water./ If I could be anything/ for you, I’d like to be / an afterthought.”
“Ripples” Jamie Colwell

“Beloved, I’m tired of writing about pretty girls in dead boxes / Eating metronidazole as a comfort snack / alkaline water cushioning the bladder / carrying a black jack as a ritual of self care”
“The Women are Turning into Creatures” Gia Anansi-Shakur
