It's amazing how a few weeks away from a poem makes you see the cracks in it. Time is the best editor. Patience is better than any craft book.

First time I actually licked an envelope in quite some time. Sending off our very first batch of Pushcart Prize nominations! It’s been a solid first year of publishing. Proud of the work we’ve put out and the writers who trusted us with it. Here’s to the next one.

A close-up photo of a brown envelope with a handwritten address in black ink that reads: "Pushcart Press, P.O. Box 380, Wainscott, NY 11975." The image is decorated with cheerful digital stickers: a blue text bubble at the top reading "to the post office!!!!", two pink hearts, and a "Good Luck" graphic in yellow and pink cursive script at the bottom right.

You can submit up to 5 mags! And what's really cool, regardless of "winning," is that the tags y'all pick will help label the lit mags in Chillsubs for easier navigation and visibility!

here is the shorter of yesterday's 2 poems from Kara Knickerbocker

Upon Learning They Will Stop Production of the Penny

What I can’t stop thinking about is how, when I was growing up,
we kept a large glass jar of them behind the couch— our way of saving
for a vacation. How my dad would search for those copper-plated faces
like little parking lot prayers.
Looking now feels worthless but I do.

Heads up, my father is still alive in another universe.
Tails up, try again.

Cover reveal time! 🎉 We're thrilled to finally share the beautiful cover for Audi Locus Volume 1.2: "Witness." We hit some delays (mental health break), but we’re back on track and this powerful collection is coming very soon! Cover Art: "The Window" by Carolyn Schlam #poetry #literarymagazine

A magazine cover for "Audi Locus: A Journal of Poetry," Fall 2025, Volume 1, Issue 2, themed "Witness." The cover features a painted image of a young woman with long, brown hair, wearing a mauve sweater and blue jeans, sitting by a window. She's holding a white mug with both hands and looking pensively out the window at a scene of colorful, brightly lit houses or buildings at dusk or night. The overall style is expressive and painterly.
