Poster that says "New Poetry! and features an artistic photo of baskets hanging in a rustic home, a mirror features a woman with dangly earrings. The words on the poster say "Read Lindsay D'Andrea's poem in dogyard mag!" and a snippet saying "the game is to draw one / or the other to the end in pieces / until someone made whole / can swing"

Taylor Ward is back with another banger! It's been such a great year and this is SUCH A GREAT PIECE. We're so grateful for Taylor!

What is your favorite holiday movie? I'm building traps in my house to ward out the evils of Krampus, but who is going to be my movie cameo that ages horribly? #dogyard

Painting of a Husky dog lying in front of some snow-capped mountains. There are purple flowers sprouting in the grass. There is an icy lake and grassy hills.

Screenshot of a web page. The words are a poem by Edith Krone titled β€œat work, the new guy asks”

β€œyou prefer she, right?
i want to say that it is not really a preference,
it just is, my life is not made up of preferences
but if it was, i would simply prefer to not be here.
i would prefer a cliffside, a Van Gogh landscape,
a menagerie of colors so bright that my eyes could
not focus, but mostly, i prefer to not see. if forced to,
id prefer to see the world through my eyes and through my eyes
i am six feet of stardust and Tennessee sunshine.
we heard how in Van Gogh's Starry Night, you could tell
the time through the stars but around here we mostly guess.
in the night humidity, we tell time by the cricket's chirp
and distant city lights--Marlboro smoke rising in place of us.”

Today is scary. My first poem has officially been published to Rust & Moth! It’s been such a weird and long road to get here but I’m a published writer (of sorts) now. I don’t know what to do now but be hopeful that you enjoy it. Thanks. Bless.

It's cold outside and sometimes we just need something short and sweet. I want to romanticize the falling leaves and listen to some nice music. It's cold, go jump in some leaves for me.

Submit! We are #openforsubmissions

Thanks for the reception! We’re blown away to the point that we’re overstimulated and digging holes in the backyard. Either way, got some more fiction headed your way. This story is a fun one? A choose-your-own-adventure? Hell yeah.
