I'm a guest editor for the first issue of a new journal called Odd Pocket. @joankwonglass.bsky.social will judge our first contest. I'm excited to read some good poems--send us your best!

Oh wow! A pushcart candidate in my opinion

Thank you so much for reaching out :)

That last stanza!

I love these sooo much, especially the one about the plumbing leak

Thanks for reposting, and for all the great poems you publish

Love the ceiling fan one, how it implies so much more is at stake than just a ceiling fan. And I love how the second one also has blades in it, so the poems speak to each other in an interesting way

Worth the wait :)

'the ocean waves are never finished / with their work

@rlwesty-poet.bsky.social at his best. A poem that stands alone, and deepens with the visual art. Perfect to wake up to

Really provocative and sinister piece. Al least that’s my take on it. The matter of fact tone is perfect for it

Gorgeous!

Love the metaphor of the shoes. Nice pick!

I haven't been doing so well at sharing favorite poems here (not even my own lol.

Zemiru by K. Eltinaé All the gardens I remember exist now in worn-out stories

Great poem by K. Eltinae, originally published in World Literature Today, reposted by @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social Daily. I love how it shows the dark of a broken relationship while avoiding self pity or sentimentality. onlypoems.substack.com/p/zemiru-k-e...

Love the ending, the way it circles back to the title unexpectedly

I so love this mono rhyme sonnet by Kim Addonizio in @oneart.bsky.social . That volta! oneartpoetry.com/2025/06/25/n...

I so love this mono rhyme sonnet. Kim at her best! That volta is exquisite. Thanks, @markdanowsky.bsky.social and @eboninthehedges.bsky.social for publishing great formal poetry on occasion, even though I pretty much think of you as a free verse-oriented journal :)
