The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt)September 11 by Joseph FasanoSeptember 11by Joseph Fasano They woke not knowing.
They kissed their children goodbye
in the morning dark, left a note
under the roses on the table.
(I’m sorry. We’ll talk about it later.)
Say it: They did not know
they would hold hands with strangers
and have to choose nothing over fire.
They did not know they would have
no other winters.
Listen. History
is human hands, a strand of hair
still stuck in someone’s buttons,
and absence makes a life
undone with hungers:
When my friend heard her father

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt)How Our Love Ends by Joseph FasanoA Note from the Editor, Max WallisIn How Our Love Ends, Joseph Fasano brings his characteristically cinematic lyricism to bear on the quiet catastrophe of parting. Here, love’s dissolution is neither rupture nor drama, but a final, tender surrender. A red dress. A blue suit. A single silent touch in the kitchen. Fasano sketches the end of a shared life not through argument or betrayal but through ceremony and near-mythic ache. The poem’s final image, “the deep-grooved gloves of falconers / that have learned the infinite difference / between giving up and letting something go”—encapsulates not just t...2025-06-0601 min

It stings.“I chew the night’s garnish/squelch questions like lemon around my teeth/until the bitterness seeps into split gums”This is what aftermath looks like when you keep going.

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt)For Those Who Wake in Fear by Joseph FasanoEditorial Note by Max WallisFor Those Who Wake in Fear doesn’t console, it steadies the reader. This is a poem for anyone who’s made it back from the dark. Joseph Fasano names the unspeakable with a featherlight touch: “You have felt it slip your heart / like a trembling wren.” That image alone could undo you. But the poem doesn’t stop there. It exhales. It reminds us that if we’ve “carried what we had to,” through the madness and silence and rupture, then we are already whole, already singing.

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt)Day 34 - Sunrises and SunsetsWhat Rises in You
by Max Wallis
for the days you don’t
What rises in you,
my body?
Outside the window,
May’s sun lifts again.
But you do not.
Breath returns
only when it breaks:
a gasp in jailed lungs,
a throat packed with quiet.
The clatter of builders,
the hollow tick
of a world that doesn’t wait.
Everything has fallen, again.
But less than yesterday.
So stay. Name this hour.
Slack light, before consequence.
But this time: there are none.
The sky still performs
its silent rites
rising, falling,
rising as if it could go on

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt)The 'S' Word by Mark Antony OwenEditorial Note by Max WallisThere are poems that circle a subject, and poems that walk straight into it. The ‘S’ word is a record of that moment, when someone says it out loud. Suicide. Not metaphor, not euphemism. And the shift it causes in the room, in the relationship, in the world. Mark Antony Owen captures the jolt of intimacy redefined: “I felt you as if new.” This poem doesn’t explain. It doesn’t resolve. It lets the weight of what was said linger in the air between two people. Some truths can’t be undone. O...2025-05-1200 min

Today I want you to know that embodiment can elevate your poetry beyond belief. What I mean by that, is the body is a language in itself and it remembers before the mind does. You can think of the body's betrayals and loyalties as powerful poetic ground. Did your hands stay still when you wanted to move them? Did your mouth open when it should have stayed shut? Sometimes the body is the metaphor. But sometimes metaphor dilutes what's raw. Ask yourself...2025-05-1101 min

The Immovable Stance offers no neat redemption arc, only the weight of a father's words and the off-kilter balance of inherited harm.

The Daily Aftershock (Writing Prompt)Section I - Opening Tremors / Naming the Damage - (Meet the contributors!)Opening Tremors / Naming the DamageWe begin where it begins: with rupture. The poems in this first section speak from the brink, in the language of impact, aftermath, and the moment something breaks. This is where the damage is named. Not to retraumatise, but to mark its outline, to say this happened. These poems are raw-boned, necessary, unflinching. They give shape to the unspeakable, refusing the silence that so often follows trauma. This is the first tremor, the shock before the aftershock. The moment the world tilts, and you know nothing will ever be the same again.2025-04-2402 min
