I'm so pleased with the poem @thejoelest.bsky.social built out of a nagging thought I couldn't figure out where to take. They really turned the ideas into something poignant. So pleased to have had the chance to read this result of collaboration. #poetry #poem #writing #writingsky

“Old and New Propositions” by @thejoelest.bsky.social (Flame) and @mithalanis.bsky.social (Spark) in Issue Seven plays with collective crisis, transactional relationships, and capitalism. Check it out, page 12: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

Check out “End-Of-Season Sale” by Lilly Purdy (Flame) and Coleman Pedigo (Spark) in our seventh issue: “My mother used to bake with honey-blood / redcurrants, reduced and distilled /…” Page 11: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

I am creating a queer reading series in DC and you are all invited: onfirereadingseries on Instagram and onfirereadingseries.neocities.org First event TBA. Please share!

Did someone say collaboration? 👀👀 🔥

“Crow Queens’ Sexiest Song” by Katerina Dementeva (Flame) and M (Spark) is an ode to queer bars and connections with strangers. Check it out, page 10: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

A sonnet broken by anxiety? Say less. I love “Truths That Don’t Land” by Mahailey Oliver (Flame) and Lilly Purdy (Spark). Check it out, page 9: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

I love “Lost Sea” by @mithalanis.bsky.social (Flame) and @sorrenbriarwood.com (Spark). The form! The imagery! The sea–gone. Check it out, page 8: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

“Forgotten” by M (Flame) and Abraham Aondoana (Spark) is gentle, yet haunting, and filled with ache. “...his lips frozen, as though silence / could hold the sky together.” Page 7: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

Second up from Issue Seven is “The Deadly Sins of Space,” which is a collaborative poem written by The Hivemind – 20 people! “The sea spat the fallen stars onto the shore, / dead as diamonds.” Check it out, page 6: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity

“A Brother’s Gotta Tell Me Goodbye” by Ryan McCarty (Flame) and Dylan Night (Spark) made me cry when I read it. “I squeezed all my hope into a stone and prayed it / toward the lake,...” Check it out, page 5: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue... #poetry #litmag #writingcommunity
