Violence Begets Violence

Uncle Sam as hypocrite, warrior, preacher, bigot…sing-song rhyme masking a brutal ledger of America’s sins. A sharp new #protest #poem by Adam G. House #AntiFascistArt #SpeakTruth #PoetryAgainstHate #UncleSam #JusticeAndPoetry #CopingThroughPoems thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/2025/09/10/u...

History calls us to remember Boston, abolition, Normandy and asks if we’re still those people, or if we’ve bowed to an orange man-god. Adam G. House’s new poem is live. #AmericanPoetry #Resist #ProtestPoetry #WethePeople #PoetryOfWitness #Trump thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/2025/09/10/a...

Wonderful poems submitted so far. Still time to get yours in!

Ellen Bass’s “The Thing Is" beautifully captures the stubborn strength it takes to carry on when things feel broken. Our upcoming collection is gathering poems that explore coping in all its forms. Submissions open through Sept 15. thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/submissions/ #poetry #submissions

Langston Hughes's poem "I look at the world" was written in 1930 but was not published until 2009 when it was discovered in pencil at the back of his copy of "An Anthology of Revolutionary Poetry" and published in Poetry magazine. #LangstonHughes #Protest #Poetry #BlackVoices #Resistance #Oppression

We are collecting poems about Coping Mechanisms for our next publication. If you’d like to submit, follow the link below. Thank you. #poetry #submissions #opencall #poets thechaossectionpoetryproject.com/submissions/

“Ignorance allied with power is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” - James Baldwin

Friends! I am so excited that Loblolly Press is releasing a hard copy #book of last year's digital #zine titled "Understory." Like the digital release, this one also supports post- #Hurricane #Helene efforts. I and 86 other #poets have great work in there! Hope you'll check it out. #BookSky #poetry

#Minnesota is heavy on my mind, as is my fourth grader and children all across the US who have to deal with the real, daily possibility of being shot and killed at school. This world is so broken.

I feel the numbness, too, friend. We are about to put out a new call for submissions for The Chaos Section Poetry Project with a new theme around this administration!! A great way for poets to take action. @chaossectionpoetry.bsky.social @fafo-poets-society.bsky.social

Rotary and Dissent I am very proud to announce that my poem, Then I Watched a World Forget, received a commendation in the Rotary Poet of the Year 2025 competition. (My entry appears on page 8 of the embedded PDF.) I've been a member of Rotary for about eight years and both my parents are past…

Fraiku: Relinquish Belief Like a cockroach in your coffee Republican corruption is fully steeped Pour it out and start a new pot (for this week's Monday Poetry Prompt)

I closed my petals, sank back into the muddy water. Bloom weighed by rocks, trying to emerge with the dawn, I fail. Watery hell, why do some people believe in all or nothing? I dream of our ghosts. #DailyHaikuPrompt #NotHaiku #lotus #grief #death #loss #sadness #poem #poetry #writing #poet

Poets, stay tuned. We’ll be putting out a new call in the coming weeks for the next Chaos Section Poetry Project chapbook. Theme, deadline, and details coming soon… ish. #Poetry #Call #Submissions @tcspress.bsky.social @mother-poet.bsky.social

Not a poetry call. But another project TCS Press is putting together — this one’s for anonymous true stories, confessions, regrets, and secrets. Not sure if that appeals to anyone here, but figured we’d leave it anyway. #opencall #essay #submissions #essays

"Where the cups are cracked and hooked Above the sink They make me think Crumbling ladder tears don't fall They shine down your shoulders Crawling is screw faster lash I blow it with kisses Rest my head on a pillowy star And a cracked door moon Says I haven't gone too far" -Jeff Tweedy, Via Chicago

“I believe that poetry came into existence because people needed it—if it were easy to write down and record things without poetry, we wouldn’t have needed poetry. But for some reason we did.” ― Jeff Tweedy #Wilco #Poetry

I took names of candies and ended up with a call to arms. Oops. A poem for dVerse. merrildsmith.org/2025/07/22/i...
