Things That Don't Suck

By Andrea Gibson + Megan Falley

One poet's quest to uncover what shifts when we shift our attention

Forgotten Poets

By Dick Whyte

A living anthology of short poems and pictures from the late-1800s and early-1900s.

Every edition is a treasure trove and excavation of out-of-print, obscure, and generally under-appreciated poets and poems! And the accompanying prints are beautifully poetic in their own right.

Cynthia - Of Earth & Sky

By From Cynthia

Hi, I’m Cynthia, this is my journey weaving the personal, spiritual, and existential through poetry and art, reflections of my soul across the landscape of earth and sky.

Death & Birds

By Chloe Hope

They're both coming for you! (Just kidding, birds aren't coming for you)

Chloe Hope is probably my favourite, and most sublime, writer on here… not just because she weaves this world and the other world together so beautifully, but because she is also funny. Every piece is a masterpiece in beauty and truth❤️🐦‍⬛💀✨♾️🕸️

Armchair Rebel

By Michelle Spencer (she/her)

Chronic reflections inspired by life in the slow lane

Michelle’s letters are always a rich invitation to self reflection. Through beautiful, and often humourous, storytelling and deep thinking about life and how and where ‘ableism, like glitter, gets everywhere’, Michelle shines a light on seeing and experiencing and appreciating in new ways.
