As Arc’s poetry editor Sarah Tsiang puts it, “The upside of a hard time is when everything else feels low, poetry tends to become even more sublime.” In the second pandemic summer, issue 95 brings you a collection of sublime new poetry, reviews, essays, and interviews.

This year, Cassandra Myers took the title of Poem of the Year with “Offering,” as well as the Reader’s Choice Award with “Medusa Calls the Rape Crisis Line.” John Elizabeth Stintzi’s “All Hearts Feed Horses” received the honourable mention.
