#Submissions are now open for #Verdigris: #PoetryOfDecay.
If #LiftToTheSky is about rising, Verdigris is about falling — splendour unravelled, glamour undone.
Open all September:
A poetry award should be about talent—not who can afford to enter. That’s why #TheBrokenSpinePoetryAward will be free to enter with a cash prize that actually helps poets. We’re putting in our own money, but we still need donations. 🔗

Two very evocative poems by @vespertine4.bsky.social. I'll be coming back to these!
Hi! Likewise :)
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If disabled people aren't included in your revolution, it's not a true revolution.
Best believe I'm practicing Dutch (at a snail's pace) so I can one day read this book by the fabulous @miriambruijst.bsky.social!
Finally! :)
If you needed any more reasons to love libraries: I'm out of town for a doctor's appointment and thanks to the local library I don't have to take two full days off work and can instead enjoy a quiet, sunlit workspace and save that day off for another time. Also, everyone's lovely.
Send us your short #fiction, #poetry or articles about #writing to be considered for the next issue of Penstricken magazine. Time is running out!
Deadline: 10th Feb
Submission fee: None
Theme: Lines
See penstricken.com/submissions for full submission guidelines.
Hi! I'm Fine, a queer poet based in Germany. After completing my M.A. in Creative Writing and taking some time to find my feet in the "real world", I'm finally making the jump to Bluesky and with it the jump back into submitting work. Let's see where this goes!
