Another absolute belter from our featured poet @jesstraynor.bsky.social. I love that we can almost see the single cocked eyebrow as Jess was writing this. Read the full fabulous poem in print, or online: www.hogriverpress.com/home

Today's delicious slice of poem is another from our invited poet @julwe1.bsky.social. Julia's stacked imagery is just brilliant in this poem, and left us breathless. Read it in full in print or online here: www.hogriverpress.com/home

The spaces between words, the dropped stitches, that's where the action happens. @bethosmond.bsky.social sent us the most perfect example. Read her poem and weep. It's available in print or online here: www.hogriverpress.com/home. Beth, thank you so much for sharing your incredible work.

Today's bit of poem comes from our ludicrously good featured poet, @jesstraynor.bsky.social. It was hard to choose which lines to pull: it's all so bloody good. Did we pick the best ones? You can read the full poem in print or online here, and decide for yourself: www.hogriverpress.com/home

Our featured Hog today is Olin Wish www.facebook.com/OlinWishAuthor, who did that whole kapow thing with the final stanza of his already pretty damned kapowy poem. Read the whole beautiful poem in print or online here: hogriverpress.com/current-issue

A perfect thread from master of threads, @dieworkwear.bsky.social. I was only surprised he didn't point out how much better President Z. looked in his non-suit than Brian Glenn ever could in his nasty royal blue number. Some might say it was enough to attract MTG, and I would say 'exactly'.
There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵
