The craft, honesty and emotional insight in these pieces is so impressive, congrats @1funnyfarmAdams!
Brilliant advice
Read outside your genre. If you write prose, read poetry. Learn compression, rhythm, metaphor. Read screenplays—see how they teach structure and economy. Read essays—see how thought unfolds That’s how you grow as a writer.
When you get into a mag that has published Margaret Atwood and EJ Pratt but *this* is your poem 😩 😂 💀
This @TopTweetTuesday I'd like to celebrate @SontagMag. EIC Asheley Novarro and their team combine kindness and a keen editorial eye to make a lit mag I think will run and run. One of my fave poems therein: sontagmag.com/archive/erin-d…
"You would call this foreshadowing but it’s already happening" Loved @pimpledrose's chapbook of perfectly poised prose poems from @thealienbuddha. Evocative, precise and full of a truth it wears lightly. Pick this one up if you get the chance!
How amazing is this?! Not only has Ysabel Hinrichs nailed it with the cover she was kind enough to do four amazing illustrations for the book itself. Out at the start of Aug as part of @GhostCityPress’s summer micro-chapbook series 🌱 🦴
They’re one of the good ones, well, two of the good ones. Consider subbing! 🐢
Taylor is leaving on a little trip this week, and Martheaus is at Tin House (tell him congrats!) You know what we would love to come home to? An inbox full of weird/fun/surreal/cool poems. (submitttttttt!!!)
This one got me big time
In her cover letter, @abigailmyers wrote, "Instagram makes me sad. This is a story about why." (I hope it's ok I said that!!), and that kinda makes this one doubly hit, tbh. Oof. havehashad.com/hadposts/before
This week's brief for @MatthewMCSmith's @TopTweetTuesday is a good one, set by @kim88110 - a quadrille (44 words featuring the word unruly). Here's my effort:
death kit is cool and good
it struck me that if you publish a novel or collection with a small press it’s not unusual to only sell ~30-40 copies in the whole run. death kit #1 sales are already in triple figures. publish with us! be read!
Stoked that my piece The Dog That Hates Weddings has been nominated for Best of the Net by @citywidelunch especially when they routinely publish writers I absolutely love!
apparently it is something called Best of the Net It is my first time doing this and I am only allowed two so I made the decision to nominate. The two are: "Wise Men" by @macy_skov "The Dog That Hates Weddings" by @ewenglass congrats!
Thanks so much to @zreayellers for publishing this one
Short & gorgeous poem up this week for all of you tortured insomniacs out there. Can't sleep? Read "Turning up the volume on my rain app to drown out the rain" from @ewenglass Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/7-8-25/rain/
Thanks so much to @zreayellers for publishing this one; @dishsoapquart has something brilliant up every week!
A typically ace poem from @LouLouMach

A new little one for @TopTweetTuesday, kindly hosted by @sandrajnoel
What do we think, is $7 too high a submission fee for 4 poems?
I'm a big fan of Derry-based lit/art mag Abridged; honoured to have a poem in the latest issue alongside some amazing work.
