Death, disorder, and depression and only temporary states of being—most of the time—they can keep a neurodivergent away from the computer— In other words, if you've reached out over the last couple of weeks, and haven't heard back—the inbox is working, and so are we.

Only just now discovering this Lucille Clifton poem dedicated to Clark Kent.
if i should

to clark kent

enter the darkest room
in my house and speak 
with my own voice, at last, 
about its awful furniture, 
pulling apart the covering 
over the dusty bodies; the randy
father, the husband holding ice
in his hand like a blessing, 
the mother bleeding into herself
and the small imploding girl,
i say if i should walk into 
that web, who will come flying
after me, leaping tall buildings?
you?

Admittedly, this is a lot of words in one place for a splash promo—but it’s hard to design anything more minimal than APROSEIXA’s already is. Be kind to your brains, and submit your best work before 27 AUG!

No one lies on Instagram, right? At least, not us. We stand behind each and every one of our posts—as well as our impeccable taste in fonts.

We were away during the creepy days of peak-nationalism—also, avoiding the machines—but poetry never sleeps. Just like every insomniac loop, where a spectacular fail chases you from grade 3 straight to 4am. Write that stuff down, and send it to us! (Ideally, by AUG 27. Link is in the bio)

Alright, so as we futz about with our blunt thumbs and low-learning curve, this feed’s going to be a little choppy. The same is not true of our first issue, [case #1]! Visit APROSEXIA.org (on your desktop) to read the first-rate work of our inaugural poets!

Growing up we’re exposed to countless influences that can be criticized as social conditioning. Books that emphasize the power choice has to change the outcome of a narrative—even from within a clearly defined system—are lessons we should never give up on. Our choices determine how any story ends.

👀 You know what we think you should do RIGHT NOW? 👀 Spend some time with FISSURES by Natalie Christensen, the vivid and evocative artwork in our May Issue: buff.ly/Nu8QP6M
Minimalist photograph of an adobe wall. Its sunlit, coral-and-salmon surface is etched with dancing cracks. Geometry and shadow are in sharp play against a boundless blue sky.
