The Best Poetry of 2024

As the jump gate opens to leave another exceedingly weird year behind us, Ye Editor would like to remind you that the term best is subjective…
These are the poems that Ye Editor liked best from the submissions in the last twelve months. Narrowing down the excellent submissions this year to a suitable number of pieces gets harder each year.
Your mileage may differ. Product may settle during shipping. Void where prohibited by law. If symptoms persist, see your shaman. Not to be used for mysterious calf pain.
