Spring 2025 is Live
Rust & Moth’s Spring 2025 issue is live! This one concerns itself with messengers; be they voices from the other side, unfamiliar eyes in the leaves, winged familiars, or the seeds we use to pay them for their troubles.
Featuring new work from Jill Michelle, Dagne Forrest, David Rosenthal, Melanie Perish, and many others, we’ll be publishing new poems online every week and building toward a finalized print edition this March. Join us online as the issue unfolds!
