Volume Twelve, the final of this eight-year era, and our most voluminous by far, features a poem for every week of the year, spread across 13 fantastic poets.

While this is an end of an era, we’re so proud of Flag + Void and the beauty we’ve hosted over the years. Thank you for being a part of it. See you in the archives—

[Flag + Void @FlagVoid]

As you may recall, the platform we’ve used to host Flag + Void over the past eight years shut down in June. We’ve rebuilt the archive, v1 thru v11, and tomorrow we'll release Volume Twelve, featuring 13 poets.

[Flag + Void @FlagVoid]

Our hope is that, down the line, we'll be able to resume publishing. But unless and until that comes to pass, we’re considering the new site a permanent archive for the poems you’ve shared w/ us to share w/ you. https://t.co/I9jIztaCc8

I’m not sure why I thought of this poem today but I did. Frank O’Hara.

I want poetry to disassemble the ordered, the create disorder and mayhem so as to release the story that cannot be told, but which, through not-telling, will tell itself. The story that cannot be told must not-tell itself in a language already contaminated.

rub a tomato plant’s leaves between your fingers—
smell your fingers—
what lingers is an aroma
of something
shadowy yet more pronounced
than a mere tomato

Dear contributors, readers, comrades: the web host that F + V has used for the past 8 years has closed suddenly and permanently without warning. We will make Flag + Void again and rebuild our tender archive that features over 60 stellar poets and poems. More very soon, xo
