In the debut of the #boneyard, Emily McKenna gives insight to the #Keats poem “Ode to a Nightingale.” Join us as we dig through the classics and see what we can learn! #dogyard is ready for your work! We accept #poetry, #fiction, #art, #cnf, #essay, and more!

Photo with painting of a man in the woods, deep in thought. There is another photo of a girl smiling in front of plants and glasses on her head. The text says The Boneyard with a quote, "This text is a work of contrasts; the old style meets the new, nature meets his scientific background, and the efforts of the nightingale contrast with the narrator's own. As for style, writing with a Shakespearean quatrain and Petrarchan sestet creates an air of familiarity.”

#dogyard would like to introduce you to our "Dog of the Week" Kya Pringle Prax! Kya Pringle Prax is a lively Alaskan husky who began life on a path to be an Iditarod runner... until she discovered couches and pillows and that ice is kind of cold on her paws. Still, she loves to run--mostly away. :(

Hey dogs, back with another book review by our managing editor @praxmar.bsky.social! We covered the gorgeous collection, THESE WORN BODIES by @avitusbcarle.bsky.social. dogyard is open for submissions! Check out the review and submissions tab on dogyardmag.com! #review #bookreview #submit #writers

BOOK REVIEW poster of the book, These Worn Bodies by Avitus B. Carle. It shows the book cover and a friendly-looking drawing of a dog with a snippet of the review, "...Carle tackles grief, identity, mental health, and love, young and old with fresh perspectives in bold narratives that proves Carle can make the wildest “What if?” feel grounded and undeniably full of human heart. Her ability to capture the same magic time and time again with each following story is what makes These Worn Bodies a worthy read for anyone ready to get their heart pulled in a million different directions."

Poster featuring the cover of CD Eskilson's book, Scream/Queen, and a dog. The photo's text details a section of the book, "“...Scream/Queen’s horror concept is both playful and powerful... Eskilson makes it clear in their writing that there is more to the stories of all things we are told go bump in the night, redeeming monsters and redirecting horror tropes which have historically demonized trans experiences, while also creating a collection of poems that allows for the celebration of community, love, survival, and self...” -Lillian Durr"
