Zines 🌸🍽️❤️‍🔥💥

Hot People Publish Poetry 📣📖

In 2023, PTK opened up our poetry ping pong match for the first time ever to an open call for submissions!

This allowed us to publish four zines featuring the work from a pack of hot poets from all different backgrounds, identities, and career trajectories. For some, this was their first-ever published piece, for others, this was yet another feather in a long and fabulous cap!

You can read all four issues below.

If you want to submit your work for future issues, subscribe to our newsletter or keep an eye on our submissions page.

Our next open call should happen in the Fall of 2023.
