The heat of summer is here, and Arc 107 is full of hot new poems, including the prize-winning poem from our 2025 POTY contest. Poems in this issue will haunt you, unsettle your ideas of home and family, and ask questions about memory, history and our place in the cosmos.
This new issue of Arc Poetry Magazine contains an Afghani translation feature, a modern take on Mallarmé’s Brise Marine, a pea shoot growing inside a man’s lung, plus so much more!
