Keeping the poetry groove going by dropping the needle on the poem “What are You?” by @Jason5Melvin, one of three in the next press edition out 7/27. We are always excited when a writer returns to RF, and this is no exception. Can’t wait!

Is it prose? Is it micro? Does it matter? “Milk Call” by Tom Busillo is a clash of the real and the imagined from the ragged corners of the soul. It lights up our next edition of the press on Sunday, 7/27.

We’ve all had that conversation in our heads, you know the one where you win the argument. “Text I Will Never Send” by Marissa Padilla is one of two prose poems in the next edition of the press that plays out in your mind like an old shame, or a broken heart. 7/27. Sunday

Sometimes a writer titles a poem so brilliantly and apropos of your feelings, you’re compelled to read it. Then you realize that it’s not just the title but the whole poem that speaks to you. “All the fucks I give (are so, so many)” by Maia Brown-Jackson is out Sunday, July 27th!

This scenario has happened to everyone. You wave back at someone only to realize they weren't waving at you. But to be honest, that's not the worst thing that happens to our MC in this story. This is "Not For You" by James W. Miller. roifaineantpress.com/post/not-for-y…

"Strange Quarks" is 1 of 3 poems from @keatingr in our 86th edition. And I could not write a better bite for it than he did in his sub form: This poem is inspired by true events. The ice cube tray, the tile, and the existential angst are all real. roifaineantpress.com/post/strange-q…

I love this magical little micro and how one thought leads right into the next, but not necessarily in a linear way, more like tangentially, kind of exactly like how my brain works! This is "Matcha and Coffee" by Annabelle Taghinia. It's live now! roifaineantpress.com/post/matcha-an…

A co-worker recently told me how her grandma could see the future. I wouldn't care to have that power, especially if I weren't granted the time to change anything. Read "The Golden" by Ron Cassano to see how young Finn Ramey deals with his sudden gift! 👇 roifaineantpress.com/post/the-golde…

I love tiny pieces with a big punch! But with so few words to choose from, it's hard to pick the right ones to bite. Take the minute needed to read all of "The Non-Denominational Government Exorcist Makes His Rounds" by H. A. Eugene. You won't be sorry. roifaineantpress.com/post/the-non-d…
