Poetry for the Unquiet

If you’re drawn to sharp, probing reflections on how we relate to each other, our families, culture, and ourselves. In Relation is a gem. Lisha Shi weaves together the intimacy of family psychology and the humor of everyday cultural life with approachable warmth and depth in her language. But she uses her wit, her overthinking, as well as her kindness to make sure you subscribe and become a lifetime fan.

Smart, sharp, and just the right amount of unhinged. Famous Female Felons tells the stories behind the mugshots with style and bite. The Martha Stewart piece? Darkly humorous, well-researched, and addictively readable. Highly recommend.

Vistas of Insight feels like walking through someone’s mind on a foggy morning. It leaves you with questions that unfold with care and reflections that don’t rush to answers. If you like writing that invites you to slow down and look inward, this is a beautiful place to start.

Alyssa is one of the most elegant and emotionally resonant poets you’ll find on Substack. Her words don’t just land...they linger. And somehow, despite her brilliance, she remains grounded, kind, and generous with her encouragement. She doesn’t just write poetry; she builds a space where others feel safe to grow. It’s no wonder so many readers find themselves drawn to her.

Honest travel writing with a soul. Bipradey doesn’t just describe places—he reflects through them. If you like stories that wander with purpose and notice the small, human details most people miss, give him a read.
