“The garments have shipped and the fabric
remaining accepts another use, a shape.
A tailor made thee. Then see it float away.”
From “Small Hours,” by Jana Prikryl in the Winter 2025 issue of @nimrodjournal.bsky.social.
Great poems both.

Read two poems from our Winter 2025 issue that “find support in Shakespeare’s lines, trying on his blank verse and tailoring it to their specifications”—Jana Prikryl’s “Small Hours” and Meg Kim’s (@megpieinflight.bsky.social) “The Second Line.”

We're delighted to announce a new issue of A.E Stallings' Echolocations newsletter.
In this issue she explores two poems from the Summer 2025 issue of @nimrodjournal.bsky.social: Curse the Mediterranean, my Enemy by @jonnyteklit.bsky.social and Eulogy for Dada (Who Loved to Waltz) by M. I. Devine.
“Two poems from the Summer 2025 issue I recently saw online knocked my socks off. That’s a pretty good ratio for any magazine … Also, and here is another good sign I think, they are both by poets new to me.”
You said it, @aestallings.bsky.social!
Thank you, @aestallings.bsky.social, for reading these poems from our latest issue with such sensitivity and enthusiasm! www.english.ox.ac.uk/echolocation...

Day 17: “Bullets” by Ye Chun in @nimrodjournal.bsky.social. Love the repetition and structure of this piece. nimrodjournal.substack.com/p/bullets
