From @eldiagram.bsky.social Eva Heisler, "HABITS (FOUR)"

My weirdest piece of writing ever is featured in this issue. Thank you Diagram :)

Quick note for those of you waiting on our chapbook contest results, we will have those for you this month! Our deadline was later this year, and these take a while to get through with care, but we should have news for you by end of the month if not before.

So @eldiagram.bsky.social made broadsides for @richard-siken.bsky.social, @mathiassvalina.bsky.social, @joshriedel.bsky.social, and Thomas Dai for their recent @uapoetrycenter.bsky.social readings. We have some left; if you want to buy em here you go: thediagram.com/merch/produc...

Thanks to the editors of @eldiagram.bsky.social for including this Barbie poem alongside so much other great work!

well well well look at those beauties

“In this delicious game we call love,  Paracelsus lost 88 to 74, / which is why he slept with his sword, never / changed clothes, and developed ethyl ether.” —Jason Bredle, “If It’s Shot out of a Cannon, a Box of Kleenex Can Kill You” @eldiagram.bsky.social

“All those years an avatar of rage and fury: / my feathers gone in fits until I’m ink / and nubbled flesh, pink. A poor meal, / by my naked look. A long knife in a dark / drawer” — @paulmguest.bsky.social, “Donald Duck’s Lament” @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/3_5/guest.html

DIAGRAM has been a dream publication for me for a long, long time, so i'm so happy to be able to say i have two poems in this issue!

My poem “Romeo and Juliett” was just published with @eldiagram.bsky.social. Check it out: thediagram.com/25_2/garard....

“This room fills with air when I leave it, / like a heart with blood, or lives with time— / the matters of course ticked off / like seconds or groceries presently needed / and absently bought.” — @paulmguest.bsky.social, “Apogean” @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/1_1/guest1.h...

How you feel when you wake up before everyone and get 15 minutes to write 300 words of a story you haven’t been able to work on for weeks because of grading and teaching and everything else

There is a place untouched by sound that I visit often—a nation whittled down to a balcony of pigeons, each border a railing bending flag-like beneath rain. —Louie Leyson in last winter's issue of @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/24_4/leyson....

From your kitchen I watch the rain stain the city fully silver, the window a needle sewing every beak shut. We stand two worlds removed from the wind and the falling, the way the concrete darkens after contact like a bruise. —Louie Leyson in @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/24_4/leyson....

You can't towel off with a poem, or land a bee on its shiny surface or shine it through dingy pickle light. —Brian Builta in the new issue of @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/25_1/builta....

More hand-illustrated / typewritten "data visualizations!" (from Richard Merrill, ed., Radical Agriculture, 1976, via @eldiagram.bsky.social) thediagram.com/25_1/hypothe... (Glad I learned to count picas and do rubber-cement analog mock-ups back in h.s. year📘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-Xr... 😊)
