I have sympathy & admiration for writers wrestling language to the page. Is it for fame, glory, or just to make existence bearable & meaningful? Whatever u got going, we’re open for submissions for our Dec. 4 issue. Probably a few weeks left till we close subs for the year.

Some poetry ought to be displayed in museums or art gallery on something 🥰. I love poetry that throws me off, just read this....
"There is a kind of defiance in hanging your clothes to dry while the sky threatens rain"
🥶that line alone 🤯🥶

and if you think I'm crashing out on these AI allegations because I have a close relationship with the writer who was falsely accused of using AI in his poems, then you must be mad and silly!
Oladosu Michael Emerald retweeted
and also, if you think the Nigerian poet should forgive and forget what that woman did to him and his brother, you must be mad too. e no touch your side, nah why e sweet for mouth

some of you were busy minding your business as usual when the AI-witch hunt was crazy on that Nigerian poet, and I predicted how it would get to your doorsteps if you think it's a trivial issue. can you now see how much messier it's getting?

I wrote a mini essay on David Olatoye's painting titled, "Heartbreak songs are better on Piano". The artwork looks like a happy Christmas scene. But it's not. It's an image of a lonely man in one of the periods the absence of family is seriously felt.
6th Best of the Net nomination. And this comes from @ParanoidxTree. Thanks to the editorial team.
