Sibling Rivalry Press, 2025.
WARNING: THIS LITERARY JOURNAL CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY/QUEER POETRY including SEX, LOVE, RAGE, HUMOR, SPIRITUALITY, FUCKERY, and JOY.
After years away, Assaracus roars back to life: fluid, defiant, unapologetic, and gloriously multiple. Assaracus Issue 26 revives the journal that never played it safe. This time it's louder, queerer, and more unruly, cracking open the doors to a wilder range of voices. In the spirit of the gritty, imperfect, bold poetry magazines and presses of the '70s and '80s, this issue hums with risk, bite, and desire. This isn't for tenure. This is tenacity.
Inside, you'll find poems that lunge from queer spirituality to streetwise memory, from spitfire humor to bare-knuckled vulnerability. These poets don't whisper. They shout, confess, seduce, and provoke. Together they're queering the page even further, reshaping what gay and queer poetry can be.
140 pages / Perfect Bound.
