Happy friday! Here's a few places to hit up if you're sending poetry out: @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social @publishedbyjake.bsky.social @maudlinhouse.bsky.social @rejectionlit.bsky.social @stonecirclereview.bsky.social @oneart.bsky.social @paraselenemag.bsky.social

I think @dishsoapquart.bsky.social may be my new favorite lit mag. Just look at this absolute beauty: dishsoap-quarterly.com/3-25-25/para... "it’s hot biohazard summer and you want to be scoured in every sense of the word..."

Dopeass story from Shayla Frandsen on @dishsoapquart.bsky.social dishsoap-quarterly.com/4-26-25/stra... you know what I like is people who don't use very many commas fuck commas man fuck em

Lovely, relatable, gorgeous prose for y'all this week. This piece is best read in public, so go find a subway to ride or cafe stool to inhabit and enjoy "We Strangers" by @shaylafrandsen.bsky.social Read it on our site: dishsoap-quarterly.com/4-26-25/stra...

I'm doing an independent study project this semester that's focused on submitter and editor perspectives on literary magazines. If you submit work to literary magazines and have a few minutes, I'd be so grateful if you would fill out my survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Just did this! This is your sign to do the same, poets! (To anywhere you’ve been thinking about)

Got some poems you've been sending around? Or something you're not sure is ready yet? A piece that needs to get transferred out of your notes app still? Send your work our way :)

Wondering what to submit? This week we're especially interested in: spreadsheets, birds, summertime, poems with really long titles, chronic illness, telephone wires, herbs, movement, magical realism, gender, lists, long socks, and sestinas.

Wondering what to submit? This week we're especially interested in: blueprints, aloe vera, weird weather patterns (natural & supernatural), geology, waterfowl, obscure hobby terminology, queer domesticity, abstraction, household objects, and trees.

Funkily incredible new piece up for y'all today. Dig into "Dude, I went to Mario’s last night and there was this journalist guy interviewing iShoVel" by Jan Hassmann. Read it on our site: dishsoap-quarterly.com/4-15-25/iSho...
