Shoutout to our Editor @maudiemichelle.com for being named the 2025 Ephraim Tyler Poet of the Year by POETIC X. At Audi Locus, we don’t just curate great art, we make it! 🖋️🔥
Officially picked up my plaque for the 2025 Ephraim Tyler Poet of the Year award this weekend. This honor was given earlier this year at Speak Poetry Fest by POETIC X, and picking it up this past Saturday (on Apollo’s birthday) felt like the perfect alignment. #LouisianaArts #SouthernWriters

It's amazing how a few weeks away from a poem makes you see the cracks in it. Time is the best editor. Patience is better than any craft book.
🔥 The 2026 FISH List is out! Audi Locus jumped nearly 100 points from last year. That’s not luck; that's doing the work. For the uninitiated: the FISH List ranks thousands of indie lit-mags, weighing submission practices, longevity, and editorial rigor to point you toward venues worth your words.
First time I actually licked an envelope in quite some time. Sending off our very first batch of Pushcart Prize nominations! It’s been a solid first year of publishing. Proud of the work we’ve put out and the writers who trusted us with it. Here’s to the next one.
You can submit up to 5 mags! And what's really cool, regardless of "winning," is that the tags y'all pick will help label the lit mags in Chillsubs for easier navigation and visibility!
Jennifer has written a short substack post for the mag actually about how much we love you. Take a look, see what it is all about. www.frazzledlit.com/p/you-guys-l... Vote for us here. If the mood takes you! Vote for someone else if you want. But, do vote. www.chillsubs.com/best-lit-mag...
here is the shorter of yesterday's 2 poems from Kara Knickerbocker
two poems today from Kara Knickerbocker, with kinda too many amazing lines to excerpt!! how about just a tease of the two amazing titles? "Upon Learning They Will Stop Production of the Penny" & "All The Reasons Why I Am Buying a Cemetery Plot in My 30’s" https://www.havehashad.com/0lpc9
In our "Witness" issue, Tess Ezzy turns the eye inward and asks the hard questions: "what is the Greek word / for grief you didn’t earn". Read "ΚΡΑΤΑ ΤΟ ΕΣΥ (you hold this)", one of our Pushcart noms, here: www.audilocus.com/volume1-issu... #Poetry #IndieLit #Publication #LitMag
