does genre ever really matter? i wrote about the utility of genre solely for publication goals— agree or disagree? let’s duke it out 🥊🥊 pop pop
Our August newsletter features an investigation into genre by OKD poetry/fiction reader @xpsychoxlinguistx.bsky.social, including a look at the poem "Breakfast, 3 a.m." (which OKD published in July) with the poet @yukondawn.bsky.social. Also, of course, news and updates from July. Enjoy!
What genre am I writing in, anyway? 🤷
