Editor Kara Dorris is the driving force behind the new online poetry journal, Lingerpost. Publishing biannually, Lingerpost seeks to publish both new and established poets. Lingerpost is influenced by Emily Dickinson's experience of knowing poetry: "If I read a book [and] it makes my whole body so cold no fire ever can warm me I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only way I know it. Is there any other way."
Using this as its guiding principle, the first issue of Lingerpost includes works by Sheila Black, Mary Stone, John Chávez, John Chávez & Crystal Gibbins, Amy Schreibman Walter, Susan Briante, Austin Tremblay, Adam Crittenden, Tanaya Winder, Natalie Day, Elizabeth Brasher, Carmen Giménez Smith, and Brett Thompson.
Lingerpost is currently open for e-mail submissions of poetry; simultaneous submissions accepted.
