New poets are the future we look forward to

[Justin Karcher @justin_karcher]

A poet withdrew their submission ‘cuz of a thread about “new” poets & frivolous submissions. It made them feel really insecure. Whatever the context, I just wanna say that NO submission is frivolous. We need to help each other grow, not spread self-consciousness like the plague.

[topaz winters 🏹 @topazwinters]

“Two girls are in love, & this is their undoing. Or: two girls are in love, & this is their beginning. A year of bones & birds & brightness. A year of realising that a girl doesn’t need a knife to start a war, doesn’t need to prick her finger to lose her… https://t.co/ZybLrYB7nq

[Hyejung Kook @hyejungkook]

“However, like Tantalus, I crave elusive fruit –
out of reach – as I set these words on a page –

or like Prometheus, I translate fire
from one language to kindle

syllable-flames in a fledgling wind.”

[The Ellis Review @TheEllisReview]

This week we have "To the Rogue Translator: Do Not Wait for the Translation Angel" by Karen An-hwei Lee!
