Issue 7 is officially open for submissions! newwordspress.submittable.com

Birch Wiley’s debut collection, Mythweaver is officially here. Those who attended the New York City Poetry Festival this past weekend were fortunate enough to purchase an advanced copy (we sold out), and the feedback has been exactly what I thought– this book is fire.

Part memoir and part manifesto, Jodi Lin’s debut collection, The Tenderness of Glass, is a non-traditional book of narrative verse and prose poetry. Each of the book’s six parts are named after a Tibetan Buddhist Bardo.

It was a beautiful pride month 🌈

It is here! What better way to round out Pride month than the preorder of Birch Wiley’s masterful debut collection Mythweaver. Support trans artists! Get your copy!

These poems are an act of mythweaving, meant to blend stories ancient and new.

“Whose ghost do I see on street corners?
When does the weight lift? What do I do
with this little bit of time I’ve caught
to live inside?”

Listen to me struggle to pronounce the title of my own poem in this issue :)

today's a great day for a vaccine and a sex change

I simply think beyond all the environmental and moral factors AI is just for losers

Abolish legal sex now. Liberate sex from legal regulation altogether.

Jesus is so fucking hot up on that cross just wanna inhale his goddamn crotch like Hunter S Thompson on an ether binge. Happy Ether everyone.

Big shout out to the woman who made eye contact with me as I was leaving Oh, Mary! and immediately shouted “Oh my god! You were amazing!” I’m glad the fit is giving Mary Todd realness
