Best of the Net Nominations 2025!

Dear Shore Family,

We are so excited to announce our 2025 Best of the Net Nominations! This year has been our biggest year with by far the most submissions and largest readership. These selections were difficult to make because of the incredible quality of the work you have been sending us and we have had the privilege to publish. We are so proud to help get your amazing poems out to the world! We hope you will join us in celebrating our six nominees!

Sarah Carson “How to Love the Man Who’ll Rape You”
Samuel Dickerson “Elegy for Last Night”
Kashawn Taylor “A Proper Shower”
Dylan Tran “Looking at My Venmo Feed and Getting FOMO”
Dana Wall “Theory of Half-Things”
Natalie Padilla Young “In the right light”

With Deep Admiration,
Sarah, Caroline & John
