Magnolias and Other Poems by Humans is the result of our Spring 2025 poetry contest.
The theme was kind of, who freaking cares? which, in effect, meant there was no theme. We didn’t want to limit possibility; we wanted experimentation, unvarnished truth, and authenticity.
As (the) CN inbox began to fill with wordcraft from the near and far regions of the planet, a semi-collective dialogue emerged in poems of all shapes and sizes. Despite the lack of ‘theme,’ these pages reveal a shared, gritty look at identity and existential survival in the abysmal metamodern landscape of our current times.
