Poetry

We invite poems that breathe, poems that whisper. We invite poems that caper and poems that sit still. Let your poem seize a moment or pucker around a turn. Write out your desires, devotions, and tranquilities, and take risks! A poem is a difficult thing to define— dwell in its challenge, and bring us what you find. Write curiously. We seek your definition and look wholeheartedly forward to your submission.

“It was / this mind fastening to another in an attempt / to overwrite its history. It was / a world I’d never / birth, please don’t / mention it. It / was how the midnight / put itself inside you and said work.”
“Gespenster” by Mathilda Cullen

“Was the night by the incandescent porch light worth the burns on my cheek? / Or the spider bite on my neck? A bite that could poison me; could kill me.”
“The Vulnerability of Letting My Mouth Hang Open” by Taryn Nasuta

“I am reminded / that / temperature does not translate over telephone wires, / that / the absence of heat is / Cold, / that / despite my desire for warmth / this world owes us / Nothing.”
“3218 W. Pl.” by Olivia Adams
