About

The Poeming Pigeon is a literary journal of poetry (and later also art), that for ten years featured works from poets all over the globe, including emerging poets alongside award-winning writers, such as Ellen Bass, James Crews, Jane Yolen, Andrea Hollander, Paulann Petersen, Annie Lighthart, Amy Miller, Tony Goeggler, Penelope Schott, Connie Post, Jeff Knorr, Tricia Knoll, Christopher Luna, Ruth Bavetta, and many, many more. The first issue started with “Poems about Birds” and continued with 1-2 issues per year on a variety of themes including food, cannabis, music, gardening, love poems, sports, headline news, the cosmos, pop culture, and the pandemic/protest issue. In 2022, we introduced a new full-color layout featuring original artwork to create conversations with the poems.

With every issue, we pledged to our readers to publish a journal teeming with poems to stir your senses, reveal new truths, make you laugh, cry and perhaps tilt your head in that curious puppy dog way. And to the accepted poets who shared and entrusted us with their words, we are forever grateful that you allowed us to share and celebrate your work over the past ten years.
