Issue #109 out now! Featured Poet Faye Brinsmead, supported by Spencer K.M. Brown, @nancysobanik.bsky.social, Marie Isabell Matthews-Schlinzig, Saad Kayani, @shamelesstrekkie.bsky.social, @kiptain.bsky.social, Chris Vola, @thatjeffreycat.bsky.social, Ethan Mershon, and @theoriginalison.bsky.social.

screenshot of featured poem from Issue #109. Sonnet against 14-line boxes, by Faye Brinsmead. Excerpt: Here I am, nine again, already unable to sleep the normal way so I experiment, an untrained musician inventing new forms. Head where my feet should be. Mid-bedspread dormouse curl. Last night, disastrously, I slid under the bed, face facing the wall, finally fell.

Been enjoying this one by @theoriginalison.bsky.social (via @stanchion.bsky.social) a couple poems at a time. A family & cultural emotional history comes vibrantly alive--& the language consistently dazzles ⚡

🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area. Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

Toni Morrison is one of the greatest writers to ever live. What many don’t know, is that she was also the first Black woman to become a senior editor at Random House. I wrote about a new book that discusses how she edited by day, wrote by night, and ushered in a new generation of Black writers.

How Toni Morrison Changed Publishing

At night, she worked on her novels. By day, as an editor at Random House, she championed a new generation of writers.

Heaven, Ekphrasis is an indictment, a reckoning, an exhale in preparation to pounce. arcadia cuts through the abstract of distance to place trans bodies directly at the intersection of pop and culture and exposes the currency we hold but are never allowed. @selizabeth.bsky.social
