Empire, The City, (Fraught) Bodies: Poems from Apogee Journal

Through ten print issues and online, Apogee Journal has been engaging with questions of identity and intersectionality, centering the voices of marginalized writers and artists. As we’re currently transitioning to an all-online platform, these poems—from both print and online within the past year—represent where we’ve been; at the same time, they are also all of this moment, looking at the horrors of global empire, imperialism, and the violence that various bodies (including POC, queer, and trans folk) face. But they can also be witchy, funny, and new—overflowing with automatons, Frankensteinian creations, and “hog proximity,” among many other things.
