Arc 103  Frock Consciousness: the Spring 2024 Issue

In 2023, Arc Poetry Magazine saw one of our biggest milestones, our 100th issue. With each subsequent issue, we’ve continued to think about poetry’s importance to our daily lives. Arc 103 introduces our new Poetry Editor, Jennifer Baker, who wrote about the role of poetry today in her first Editor’s Note: “the work of poetry shows us where we are; it imagines us above the labyrinth in which we are lost, shows us the problems and the solutions in their wholeness. It complicates; it welcomes.”
