Click the link and enjoy a handful of poems, one of which I wrote. I really enjoy the "about the authors" section which we wrote ourselves. Everyone mentions all the amazing poetry submissions they've had. Mine is like "this guy drinks soda". Perhaps I should try and be more three dimensional 😅

It’s a great day to make a little donation that our Ko-Fi to defray full-color printing costs for our issue coming out later this month! Postage for our contributors’ copies is already covered. We are a one-person zine operating in a deficit and every little dollar helps!

Our final 2025 issue will be up on 12/31! Thanks for your patience, as always. Can’t wait to bring you this next set of poems!

We also have past issues for sale in our Ko-Fi store. Prices include postage, even internationally! The beauty of staying small in size is that I can just put them in an envelope and drop them in my outgoing box. No special trips required!

Reminder that we have an issue coming out toward the end of next week!

We have a poem from Sean Wang coming in this month’s issue (around 12/30). For now, read this ❤️

I’d also like to entertain, in the future, a CLMP membership. But right now the priority is getting the December issue out while still being able to pay my power bill. If you’ve got $5 and a soft spot for brochure-sized poetry zines, hit up the Ko-Fi on the @delicatezine.bsky.social Linktree!

The goal for 2026 was to be able to pay contributors, even if it’s just $5, but my lifestyle as a double-master’s grad student and teaching assistant isn’t helping the cause.

I run this little zine out of pocket with the exception of small donations from kind people! It costs about $35 an issue to print enough for contributors and anticipated sales. I managed to resurrect it after reconstructing my life in 2022 and have been consistently publishing quarterly issues.

Tomorrow is December. Only two weeks until Hanukkah! NAWP is hosting our 3rd annual Hanukkah reading with 22 Jewish poets (we know, it isn't chai, but we have some great readers!) Please join us! www.eventbrite.com/e/from-darkn...

We had a record number of submissions for our end of the year issue! Decisions going out tonight. Of course there is never room for everything, but this time it was really difficult.

A new collection by a poet from our August 2025 issue! Congratulations, Rick!

Our submissions have closed for the December issue. Editor @dusti.bsky.social is settling in for a few days of carefully reading your poems. Thanks to all who submitted or shared!

Our subs are still open through the 15th of November! Please be sure to read our guidelines before submitting. We think they're pretty clear, but we're also here to answer any questions about submitting if you have them!

We are loving those poetry submissions! Keep ‘em coming — you’ve got a few more days!

Those @thirteenbridges.bsky.social poetry submissions keep rolling in! We’re open through the beginning of December — check our site for details!

You can submit your 15-or-fewer-lines poems to us for the next 17 days!

These are incredible collections. Ask you library to order them!

Our @chillsubs.bsky.social listing is updated with the new submission call. If you're not familiar with ChillSubs, check them out -- an excellent resource for writers and editors!

Submissions are open through 15 November for our late-December issue! forms.gle/gSGMv23qkheQ...

You can now order a full-color copy of Delicate Emissions from our Ko-Fi shop! ko-fi.com/s/e4f9219654 The price -- $2.50 but also with a pay-what-you-can option -- includes international mailing!

Y’all — the zines are FINALLY ready to mail! I’ll be putting a few in the Ko-Fi store in the next few days. Thanks for your grace with this issue. Moving 8 hrs west, starting grad school and teaching, then having a fire & being displaced was A TEST but we passed!

Nerve to Write is a new online magazine for disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent writers to showcase creative innovation and build crip community. We are officially open for free submissions of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, hybrid writing, and artwork!

Your physical copies (!!!) will be on their way once @dusti.bsky.social ‘s fire cleanup is complete. Wish we had a timeline for this (for all kinds of reasons!). If you’re jot a contributor and want to wait to order, we’re holding off on uploading it to our Linktree. Thanks for understanding!

Thanks and happy to have poems in here!

My poems “Tickseed” and “Sufjan Stevens glues wings to his back” are in this lovely issue of Delicate Emissions!

I did it! Next is to figure out the scanning system at my new library so I can build the physical copies to send to our contributors and anyone who'd like to order a copy from our Linktree! We mail for free. If you want a copy and don't have any money, let the zine know and we'll see what we can do!

Check out two by @chrispb.bsky.social in this issue!

Featuring work by @mimulus.bsky.social, Aspen Greenwood, Sara Cline, Chris Bridgen, Basil Boultbee, & Annalies Mohle.

At last, the August 2025 issue is live online. sites.google.com/view/delicat... More promo (and our physical copy) coming soon! It's the first week of grad school for our editor and things are a *little* wacky right now. Thanks @chillsubs.bsky.social for sending so many great poets our way!

Thanks for your patience while we get this issue up and running!

Oh heck — we have some good, good stuff coming your way to round out the meteorological Northern Hemisphere summer! Including @mimulus.bsky.social and @chrispb.bsky.social

Those acceptance emails are coming soon — thanks for your patience with the one-day delay!

So we unintentionally didn’t open our subs on ChillSubs until July 2 (our “reading” period is different from our “submission “ period) so we’re keeping subs open until 7/15. Now’s your time! Read our guidelines, check out our work, and submit if it fits — all links are in our bio!

My statement on Donald Trump's threat to deport me and his praise for Eric Adams, who the President "helped out" of legal accountability.

I’m just an editor looking for more poems to read (because reading for two journals and a playwriting project isn’t enough for me).

Today’s the last day to submit your poems for our August issue! We produce a physical zine as well an online issue, and all contributors get a copy. Click the link in our bio for guidelines and the submission form (and to see what we’ve published).

Subs close for the poetry zine next week! Follow the link in @delicatezine.bsky.social ‘s bio to get to the submission & guidelines form!

One of my sister publications, BOUDIN, is open for submissions!

Ten more days!

Our subs are open for two more weeks — then we start reading for that August issue! Please visit our Linktree to see what we publish and find our submission form (which has our guidelines)!

I was fortunate enough to have work published in Delicate Emissions. My work was treated with care and published both online and in a physical zine in a delightful manner. Jump in; the water is fine.
