Signal / Interference

We’re building a chapbook that thrives on difference — of voice, form, background, lineage and lived experience. If your work doesn’t fit neatly anywhere, if you write from the margins or the overlaps, if you’re experimenting with new shapes of language or identity, we want you in this conversation.

This project is for poets who’ve been told their work is too much, too strange, too political, too queer, too hybrid, too emotional, too fragmented, too experimental, or simply not what we publish.

Here, those refusals become invitations.

We’re gathering writers who want to create in chorus, in collision, in resonance — poets who come from different dialects, different bodies, different histories, different ways of knowing. A collective text is richer when its voices don’t match and we’re interested in the frictions, echoes, ruptures and harmonies that emerge when they meet.

If you’ve ever felt misread, overlooked, or boxed in, if you’ve ever written from the edges of culture, gender, geography, language, or tradition, this is a space built with you in mind. Bring your clarity, your noise, your quiet, your strangeness, your precision, your wildness. Bring the ways you speak that don’t sound like anyone else.

Help us build something uncontainable.
