All me. Yep. My fault.
Donna here. I'm the problem, it's me. I forgot to activate the submission form link yesterday - it is now open for business! My apologies to anyone who tried to submit on day one... asteralesjournal.com/submissions
Congrats to Issue 7's @adamg.bsky.social whose poem "Consumption" is on Poetry Daily today! tinyurl.com/ajp6bbb2
Consumption
I have swallowed rot as rank as riverbeds, gnawed mold- pitted pride until it reached its dim-lit dwelling

I think this is the best poem I've ever written in the latest issue of Notre Dame Review
Oh, no, I saw The Odyssey and enjoyed it, but I do have *gulp* thoughts...
I was so jealous that my husband saw Death of a Salesman (which I love) when he was in NYC...since he's gone this weekend, he found me 3 versions to watch at home. Starting w/Brian Dennehy tonight...I always found this version devastating due to his physical stature.
I love this book and was excited to be asked to review it for @sundresspub.bsky.social. Go get yourself a copy!
A lovely review of KARAOKE AT THE END OF THE WORLD is up on Sundress Reads. Grateful to poetry force-of-nature @djvorreyer.bsky.social, of @hphseries.bsky.social fame, for reading with such deep care and insight. I’m still pinching myself! ✨ sundressblog.com/2026/07/29/s...
Ah, it has arrived, the annual summer cold which can't decide whether to go up into my head or down into my chest and therefore sits annoyingly dripping in the middle...farewell, sleep!
for the late night crowd (yes, I am aware it is only 10 pm on the east coast. Have you considered though: I am old, and you, my friend, are not getting any younger)

i go to poems not for morals or lessons or Knowledge—i go to poems for music and pleasure, texture and disturbance, lust and color, risk and provocation, tenderness and jokes, questions and rage, dream and gorgeousness, love and hate, love and what is it, what’s that

I went to my little room in the third floor, undressed myself as slowly as possible so as to kill time, and with a bitter sigh got between the sheets.
The way I just yelled YES in the empty house when Belgium scored that goal...
