Autumn 2024 in Print: My High Architect to Move
The Rust & Moth Autumn 2024 issue is now available in print! These poems are fire poems, and they stand at the border between the world that is and the world that is yet to come.
With new poetry from Laurie Klein, Sonya Schneider, Kurt Olsson, Aileen Cassinetto, Matthew Murrey, Sarah Burke, Jennifer K. Sweeney, Ron Stottlemyer, David Rosenthal, Ashley Steineger, Sam Szanto, Jeanann Verlee, Eric Brown, Samuel Prince, David Moolten, Karen Hildebrand, Beth McKinney, Lotte Mitchell Reford, Ela Kini, Amanda Auchter, Susan Barry-Schulz, Courtney Hitson, Andrea Maxine Recto, Luigi Coppola, Meredith Davies Hadaway, and Joseph Fasano.
An aside to our American readers: check your voter registration status early and often. We’ll see you at the crossroads on November 5th.
And to all our readers: we’ll see you in fields upon fields of poetry on Bluesky!
Update to Open Reading Windows
Thanks to a steady rise in submissions, we’ve decided to shorten our reading windows by one week. Effective now, we’ll be open to submissions from the 1st through the 21st of the usual reading months — March, June, September, and December. (Better, we hope, to balance the work and keep the issue from literally getting too heavy!)
Full details can be found on our submissions page: rustandmoth.com/submissions/
