POETRY - Gemini Issue
Updated: May 19, 2020
We received entries from so many talented and dedicated poets; our only regret is that we couldn’t publish more pieces. We are so proud of the poetry we have selected for publication! Among the eleven featured poets, there are award-winning performance poets, spoken word artists, singers, and songwriters. Our poets have appeared in The New York Times, Sakura Review, College Underground Radio, Uno, MuslinGirl, and many more. Additionally, we have featured the founder and director of Manifest Creativity, a Pittsburgh-based initiative centering on Muslim artists.
