Rob Sienna describes his poetry as “mischievous, sprightly, and elfin,” and I couldn’t agree more. I also can’t think of a better piece to end Issue 1 with. Read “#1551: Milo Tends to Silo” here: 2505magazine.weebly.com/issue-1-loud... #poetry #poem #literature #2505mag #resist #resistance

Jack Brodeur breaches the very concepts of what poetry can be in his depiction of neurodivergent experience, so much so that it changed the way I formatted the issue! Read “The Weird ADHD Kid” here: 2505magazine.weebly.com/issue-1-loud... #poetry #poem #experimental #literature #2505mag #resist

Litsa Dremousis describes her work as “part memoir, part Molotov cocktail on behalf of the disabled.” Read “On Behalf of the Tens of Millions of Us Who are Immunocompromised” here: 2505magazine.weebly.com/issue-1-loud... #memoir #2505mag @litsadremousis.bsky.social

Quote from an interview with Jacqueline Woodson that struck the editor today. In the past, I've thought silence to be the easier option, but right now, it's the choice between being scared and not doing anything vs. being scared and doing something.

No worse feeling than reading a really good poem in a litmag and then being unable to find the author's other works at all... - a hypocrite who never includes socials when he submits to litmags

I've never been good at coming up with titles. I think 25:05 might be the only exception. It just made sense to name the magazine after what pushed me over the edge to start it! Read more here: 2505magazine.weebly.com/faq.html #literarymagazine #literaryjournal #litmag #openforsubmissions
