Poetry Editors

Maya Pozzebon

Interested in dealing with powerful (female) emotions in powerful ways, her works take from traditions of magical realism, Women’s Writing, and lyrical poetry.

When she’s not re-reading her guilty pleasure books, you can find her cooking homemade meals and daydreaming.

A lover of all things analogue, he can often be found scribbling, reading, listening, or taking photographs. Jack’s work was shortlisted for the 2025 Concordia Poetry Award and featured in the latest Soliloquies Anthology. He searches for quiet and meaning in the daily oddities of life.

Dahlia Mandel

When she isn’t pining after fictional characters, she can be found perusing random cafes, baking, and hanging out with (or just annoying) her cat.
