Friday Night Library — Issue No. 2
In this second volume of Friday Night Library, we return to the heart of what we love: poetry that lingers. These pages hold voices from across the map intimate, bold, aching, and alive. Each poem is a window into someone’s truth, a room full of quiet revelations and loud heartbeats.
Inside, you’ll find work that speaks to grief and girlhood, survival and softness, the strange tenderness of being human. Issue No. 2 is both a conversation and a confessionan invitation to sit down, slow down, and read something that might just stay with you.
Featuring the work of:
Anthony Acri, Ruchi Acharya, Nicholas Grooms, Nell Kerr, Olivia Ackers, Adam Farcus, Vani Sant, and Emily Kledzik.
Printed in full color and bound with care, this issue is a celebration of poetic craft and community.
