The Concher

Deep in our poetry/chocolate history (way back in 2007!), we produced two issues of a handmade poetry journal called The Concher, paired with a box of chocolates. Perhaps a little misty-eyed (we were so young!), here is our Editor’s Note for the first issue:

We have a few quibbles with ourselves (you ferment, then dry…), but we stand by the last sentence, and we are proud of the poems we published and how well they stand up after all these years.

Issue 1: Marc McKee, Rebecca Loudon, Ray Hsu, Reb Livingston, Brent Armendinger, Adam Clay, Sarah Wolfson, Samuel Wharton, Phillip Crymble, Kathleen Rooney & Elisa Gabbert, Tung-Hui Hu, Craig Morgan Teicher, Darcie Dennigan.

Issue 2: Grave Egbert, Christopher DeWeese, Jen Tynes, Joshua Marie Wilkinson, Kristi Maxwell, Maryna McGlynn, Alex Lemon, Dan Beachy-uick, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Rebecca Dunham, Sean Norton, Matthew Hittinger, Andy Trebing, Kate Schapira, Bronwen Tate, KC Trommer, Michelle Chan Brown, Kristin Abraham, Matthew Henriksen, Rae Gouirand, B.J. Love, D.A. Powell & Haines Eason, Kirk Davis, Beth Coyote, and Jennifer Metsker.

15 years later, it seems like a good time to bring it back.

We are currently reading for The Concher 3. Follow the submittable link below for more details.
