No book has impacted me more this years than Isabel Sobral Campos'The Optogram of the Mind is a Carnation. An honest undressing of dictatorship and colonial history, Optogram is one of those unafraid books of poetry directly engaging a quagmire. Check it out at @futurepoem.bsky.social

It's almost time to submit to the Other Futures Award!
We're looking for a full-length work that we think challenges conventions of genre & language, content & form. We want writing that imagines new lived or literary possibilities and questions established paradigms in poetry.
We’re thrilled to announce our selections from Futurepoem’s 2025 Open Reading Period! 🎉 This year’s winners were selected by our guest editorial panel, Courtney Bush, Abraham Cruzvillegas, and Matt Longabucco:
ENTRANCE by Kiana Shaley & AUTHENTICITY DRILL by Christopher Rey Perez!
Add poetry from @futurepoem.bsky.social to your TBR!
The poems in Jerika Marchan’s SWOLE take in “the whole stretch of New Orleans on an intimate level—it’s people, it’s music, it’s idiom, and it’s bloat.” — Yasmin Adele Majeed #APAHeritageMonth www.futurepoem.com/books/swole/...
In Lindsay Choi’s poems, “music, mathematics, philosophical logic, and lyric convention come in and out of relation to press upon questions of form and meaning-making.”
