Subscribe to get the July issue 〰️
This is not widely advertised.
Four times a year, a small printed booklet appears in the mailboxes of subscribers.
No notifications. No feeds. No algorithms.
Just paper, ink, and something to look forward to.
It is not available in stores.
It does not exist online.
It will never need a dongle.
It will help you pass the time --
and maybe even slow it down a little.
Should this sort of thing appeal to you:
4 consecutive issues, mailed seasonally. Begin with the current issue, or the next one.
The Poet Quarterly is currently available only within the continental United States (sorry about that).
If enough readers are interested, that may change in the future. For now, I’m keeping this first run small enough to remain affordable to subscribers -- and manageable for one cartoonist.
Receive four full-color, subscriber-only issues of
THE POET QUARTERLY - delivered straight to your mailbox.
Each issue includes:

A letters page (actual human correspondence)
Bonus material (behind-the-scenes notes, occasional non-Poet comics, recommendations, and guest art)
The Official Bulletin of the Poet’s Park Bench Appreciation Society (featuring reader submissions)
Coloring page (a calming activity for quiet moments)
Shipping is included within the continental United States.
A small, simple joy - delivered four times a year.
