Here's one final sneak peek inside Issue 19's 92 pages. I could use a few more orders of it, in case you've got cash to burn on something real, reliable, resplendent. Here's the opening 12 lines of @glowyaquarius.bsky.social's ANTI-ODE TO GIRLHOOD. What a brilliant, blistering poem this is.

Welcome to Flight: a Literary Sampler! We’re a literary journal, publishing four interconnected pieces in each edition. You can learn more about us at our website: flight-literary.ghost.io

So stoked to receive a nomination for Best of the Net ! a poem about my eighth grade students, a tsunami warning, and an endangered fish... Thanks to Jeff at @stanchion.bsky.social for the deep care shown to this poem, and all the writing they receive!

June 28 was three years since my dad passed from ALS. Blue Bodies is available as a free PDF from @ghostcitypress.bsky.social. If you’re able, there's a donate button. Funds go to ALS United Greater NY—an org that supports families (they were a life raft for us) and also contributes to med research.

Always exciting to see The Last Machine in the Solar System being read in the world more than eight years since publication. Even more thrilling, and an honor, when those people are teachers overseas sharing the story with their students.

THIGMONASTY by Elizabeth Joy Levinson is out today as part of the 2025 Summer Series! Download your free copy here: ghostcitypress.com/2025-summer-...

Stanchion opens in 4 hours. Closes in 28. Let's make Issue 19.

I am not a soldier but I put my fatigues on in blue-milk light under pine shadow I am tired of carrying what a soldier left behind // a father poem from Larks (@ohiounivpress.bsky.social)

“we sat on the curb at the cathedral’s foot and spoke softly about disasters…” Adam Zagajewski, translated by Clare Cavanaugh from his book “Eternal Enemies”

#booksky @matthewisaacsobin.bsky.social can’t wait to read it! I think it got here very quickly!

Just heard about the passing of Jack Katz. Not many know his work, but they should. His graphic novel series The First Kingdom is the epitome of what would be defined as epic. An inspirational epic in highly ambitious terms of scope and illustrative power.

Will miss you, my friend. Jack Katz was an absolute one of one. A Golden Age of comics legend -- If you've ever enjoyed a graphic novel, he's the most important person you've never heard of, innovating a new genre in the 70s with his groundbreaking The First Kingdom. May your art live on and on.

Happy to have these two poems — a dad poem, a dance poem — side by side in @oneart.bsky.social. And sharing space with Gary Soto, how cool!

Stone Circle #ThrowbackThursday poem : "Grief Poems & Love Poems" by Matthew Isaac Sobin (@matthewisaacsobin.bsky.social) #TBT stonecirclereview.com/grief-poems-...

So proud of this little poem. Many many wonderful poems to read in the @stonecirclereview.bsky.social archive. Love the random poem feature. Go on an adventure.

A poem from LARKS (winner of the Hollis Summers Poetry Prize) by @hanvanderhart.bsky.social—such a beautiful and devastating collection filled with witness, grace, and resilience. I cannot recommend this collection enough. Will be sharing more. 💙

I used to get nervous seeing this poem on X. Someone would always troll it, remarking that I didn't have a handle of English grammar. I grew up speaking Romanian at home and French in school. I transferred to an American school in 9th grade & promptly failed every grammar unit. Thank you, Jad.

Hey @toddedillard.bsky.social thanks for classing up our poetry section at @booksonb.bsky.social — now we’re sparkling.

Stoked that @stanchion.bsky.social, a dream journal, is my first acceptance of 2025, for the brand new Elegant Variations weekly feature! Cheers EIC Jeff for all he does for the community. I know my writing is in the best of hands. An aside, this was by far the quickest I've been paid for a poem.

NEW POEM #128: "Grief Poems & Love Poems" by Matthew Isaac Sobin "You have to be so vigilant around a poet, lest they transmute your grief; / seize the narrowest slice of life & blow it up into a world." stonecirclereview.com/grief-poems-...

Happy Valentine's Day!❤️What better way to celebrate than a poem about the romantic city of Venice? How about a poem about a not so romantic Venice? "I Don’t Have a Gondola or An Oar or Money to Pay a Gondolier" by Matthew Isaac Sobin. Look for it Sunday!

Ever had been lost while traveling? In a foreign country where you don't really speak the language? I haven't, but I imagine this is how I might feel if I did. Check out "I Don’t Have a Gondola or An Oar or Money to Pay a Gondolier" by Matthew Isaac Sobin. www.roifaineantpress.com/post/i-don-t...
