Change to Magazine Format

🌟 Hello Whisperers! 🌟

First of all — a HUGE thank you to everyone who’s sent in their beautiful poetry and thoughtful writings! 💌 We’re absolutely thrilled by the creativity pouring in. If you haven’t submitted yet, don’t worry — there’s still a couple of weeks left to send us your short poems or your musings about poetry. ✨

Now, just a quick (and exciting!) update:
We’re making a few changes to the magazine format for this issue — and maybe future ones too. Our previous layout was super pretty, but it was also very graphics-heavy and sadly, our current webhost just can’t handle all that visual goodness. 😅

So! We’re simplifying things and switching to a more text-based format, and republishing the previous issue in this new format as well so that no poems will be lost in the changeover. That means more space for your words to shine — poems, articles, reflections — all front and center. 💬📚 Don’t worry, it’ll still be beautiful — just a different kind of beautiful. And bonus: it gives us more time to focus on what we love most — your writing!

Some of you may know that Ruth and I have been navigating a very difficult time, with the loss of a family member and everything that’s followed. We truly appreciate the love and understanding from this wonderful community. 💛 We had hoped to include a special section on grief, but emotionally, we’re just not quite there yet. If you’ve submitted grief-themed poems, we’ll simply include them in the general pool.

On a brighter note: Because of all this, we’re now accepting up to 6 poems per person for this issue, just to keep things fair and flowing for everyone. 🎉 So feel free to send in more if you’d like!

As always, we welcome your short poetry, reviews, essays, and poetic reflections. Let’s keep this magazine a joyful, free, and open-hearted space for creativity. 🌈💫
