Poems, Tales & Other English Words: Issue 5

Featuring poets from across the world, our Poetry edition balances raw confession with sharp observation and dark humour with aching beauty. Here are poems about memory, identity, parenthood, faith, masculinity, longing, survival, and the small, human details that make those vast ideas feel close enough.

This is poetry for readers who want to feel seen, not instructed.
For those who know that language is at its most powerful when it dares to be honest.

Poems, Tales & Other English Words is a non-profit publication in line with our mission to support creatives and amplify under-represented voices
