900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

A brown paper mail package sits on top of a light colored wooden table. On top of the package is a postcard with Host publications symbol of a winged creature with four limbs and a long tail, ending in a triangular point. The winged creature has a sun for a head, and two eyes but no other facial features. The brown paper package is tied with a maroon colored string. Peeking out from behind the postcard is an ink print of the two back legs of the winged creature.
A book sits on top of a light colored wooden table. The book is colored in different hues of brown with the title in white across the top— local remedies: poems. Two black lizards are depicted on the left side of the book cover, and a brown breast rises from the bottom. In white the author’s name is Chiagoziem Jideofor, and underneath the words read “introduction by Kwoya Fagin Maples”
I love getting these treasures in the mail @hostpublications.bsky.social #poetry #books #hostpublications

the fantasy that people will rise to the moment, the fantasy that people will change on their deathbeds, the fantasy that people secretly want to do good and are working on themselves when all evidence points otherwise, the fantasy that the state is anything other than this
ICYMI I have new work out about dragon fruit, cinnamon toast, and eggs. I really hate eggs, and it was a pleasure to destroy them in a poem.

I am renewed by a pile of books. P.S. The little chap is Aerik Francis’ BodyPolitic from @abodepress.bsky.social
Claudia is right! This memoir is absolutely brilliant and heartbreaking. I also love the visual element.
Happy St Patrick's Day to the Irish-American tradition that's about solidarity with oppressed peoples and opposition to imperialism, and *NOT* to the part that's about integration into American whiteness via exercises in domineering racism.
I am a sucker for crows, so this stunning story by Todd Honeycutt immediately spoke to me in the queue. But it was the lyric writing, the repetition, and the circling around parental regret that made that me fall in love. Give it a read! 🐦⬛

If misogyny disqualified men from your respect, you could all spend a lot less time being like "Oh my god, I'm so shocked to discover that he's hateful and stupid," later.
We made it! #AWP2026

ICYMI: Art Subs are OPEN ✨ We love art that's steeped in memory & awareness. Art that eats donuts & watches cartoons on Saturday mornings. That lives next door! Whose parents are immigrants. Even art that’s lowbrow. Art that reminds us of our humanity. ✨
I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!
