Dear Amazing Readers and Contributors,

We are so very excited today to light a little fire in your November chill with our 2025 Pushcart Nominations! So many poems we were lucky enough to publish this year were part of the conversation. These six continued to haunt us. We hope you will join us in congratulating the nominees and celebrating these poems. Thank you all who make this decision so difficult every year. And thank you so much to our loyal readers who make every issue so rewarding to curate and send into the world!
