We've got another New Voices for you this Friday! One particular area of genius in Ridwan Fasasi's poem "Millenials after the banishment" resides in its details — in particular, line breaks and ends of lines. We hope you enjoy reading it.

We've got another unforgettable New Voices poem for you. This week, check out "A flowchart for the anxious insomniac." Chau Anh Nguyen uses an experimental form in this poem to help readers sit with the language of it, which is fractured yet interwoven.

We are proud to announce the WINNER of our Epistolary Challenge: Shradha Singh! This poem assembles a life from crumbs: hidden photographs, a courtroom outburst, a last love letter read aloud years later. All of which accumulate to a deeply moving end.

Congratulations to the second place winner of our Epistolary Challenge! Christian Collier's poem "Dear Sarah" becomes a meditation on sexual becoming, silence, and the way first loves linger—caroling—long after the truth has learned how to speak.
