Nice Fucking Christmas - TrashLight Press The Christmas when I was thirteen, the big deal was that I had the big “O Holy Night” solo at Christmas Eve mass. First verse and everything. In a fair world, the first verse would have gone to Nancy ...

A Christmas story of solos gone wrong, family chaos, red velvet defiance, and the imperfect love that still shows up on Christmas morning.
Tender, funny, and devastating in all the best ways.
Check out “Nice Fucking a Christmas” by Mary O’Connor now

Butter Pecan Seeker - TrashLight Press My neighbor, Desmond, has this unassuming, jaunty luminosity about him. He was an especial child, all wistful, precise. I gloss over the photos hanging along his shrouded gallery, in my own stannic re...

Leyla Guirand’s Butter Pecan Seeker drips with desire — a lush, fevered meditation on sweetness, obsession, and the hunger that devours restraint.

Two new poems just dropped this week at TrashLight Press:

“Strawberry Juice” by Lance Mazmanian — color, rage, and the stillness of no departures.
“You Turned Time Into Torture” by Kate Lewington — the weight of waiting, and the breaking point of love.

Stranger - TrashLight Press She was who she is who she’ll always be: the young woman on the concrete stoop of the little clapboard farmhouse by the side of the road, sitting reading in a gloaming.  That’s a book in her hands. No...

An absolute must read piece, “Stranger” by Stevie doCarmo is a gut punch to the senses. A homage to the ephemeral beauty of strangers, a voyeur’s glance at the sacredness of longing.

Let that flame of rage within you bring your art to life. We want to see the too feral, too political, too angry pieces that smolder in you as the world around us burns.

“Hallway 5” by Nathan Poole Shannon is live now on TrashLight.

It starts with a guy in a trash compactor but it ends… somewhere else entirely.
There’s a Hallway, a door that shouldn’t exist, a faceless man, and something else. Something … waiting.

Laura DeHart Young’s “Don’t call it dinner” is a love letter to small goodbyes, bad weather, and even worse coping snacks.

Terribly beautiful touches of life - read them now.

Thank you to every beautiful soul who brought this to life. We’re just getting started.

Retrograde Musings ~ 1.2 - TrashLight Press Everything breaks and turns to shitExcept my titsThose are perfect.Sage and crystals will fix the universeIn amusement, I shake my head to affirm.

everything’s crumbling,
but at least the tits are thriving.

Stephanie Inverso’s “Retrograde Musings ~1.2” is a one-woman sermon on chaos, cleavage, and cosmic nonsense.
Mercury’s in retrograde. Laugh about it.

most grudges burn out eventually
what’s left is the faint heat of disappointment,
the shrug of knowing you lived through it

Ed Ahern’s “Chilled Out” is a sharp, tired exhale—
a poem for anyone who’s been pissed off long enough
to finally cool down.

jet haze in the sky.
plastic eggs in June.
whiskey in the pews.
a hawk with fur in its claw.

“While the world winds down” by Matthew T. Hummer is now live. Read it with the lights low and your teeth clenched, seeing the creeping American decay
