Rust & Moth

The Rust & Moth Winter 2025 issue is live! And we do mean winter — these dark-day poems cast coins into fountains frozen-over. Crack these pages open like footsteps onto halting ice.

Featuring new work from Mary Grace Mangano, McLord Selasi, Dagne Forrest, Suzanne Langlois, and many others, we’ll be publishing new poems online every week and building toward a finalized print edition this December. Join us online as the issue unfolds!

The Rust & Moth Autumn 2025 issue is now available in print! These pages are restless, sleep-deprived, and sore from a hard day’s work. Keep faith alongside our authors as they punch their way through the back of the medicine cabinet.

With new poetry from Dan Alter, Rongfei Mu, Megan Peak, Vismai Rao, Lorrie Ness, Tallulah Howarth, Lao Rubert, Jeanne Julian, Olivia Jacobson, Annie Bolger, Mike Taylor, Wendy Wisner, Rachel Beachy, Jen Feroze, John Wojtowicz, Marc Alan Di Martino, Choiselle Joseph, Julie Benesh, Esther Lay, SM Stubbs, Callie S. Blackstone, Jennifer Randall Hotz, Jennifer L Freed, Prosper Ifeanyi, Laurie Koensgen, Oliver Brooks, and Amy Riddell. Find these and other poems on Bluesky. Also available in PDF and ePub.

Also, what may be the biggest day in the history of American protest is just around the corner! See you in the streets for No Kings on Saturday, October 18th.
