“What does it mean to live in a world with sound, but to not fully hear it? Both an experiment in form and syntax, Messinger’s poetry reconceptualizes time, memory, and space through lyrical fragments from the past.” Poetry Review: @casper.orr Reads Bianca Rae Messinger’s Debut Collection pleasureis amiracle @nightboat_books #babyeatbooks Hear the past at the link in bio 📢 /2025/09/16/pleasureis-amiracle/ #heavyfeatherreview #poetry #amwriting #instapoets #writing #smallpress #chapbook #chapbooks #writersofinstagram #writersofig #bookstagram #books #poetrycommunity #poem #poems #poetrygram #poetrycollection #writerscommunity #writingcommunity #poemsofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #newbooks #bookclub #shortstories #shortstory #prosepoetry #microfiction #flashfiction

I’m posting super late about this issue of @noisemadeby , but i’m super excited with how it came out. I was able to contribute a super exciting artist feature and I was so privileged to get to interview one of my favorite Brooklyn-based bands! My collage was also used for the cover?? Anyways, check out this issue if you haven’t already, it’s so amazing! All of our contributors did an amazing job 🫶

We’re happy to share a sneak peek into some of the incredible submissions for Clementine Issue 02. Ritual 01 is a powerful poem by Casper Orr titled “A Reverse-Bucket List (Now That I Want to Live). Orr offers a deeply personal reflection: The title of this piece was inspired by my journey with my mental health struggle and, subsequently, reflects how far I’ve come. ‘a reverse-bucket list’ is a list of small and silly moments and actions that I feel make life worthwhile and meaningful. The concept of the ‘reverse-bucket list’ flips the idea of a set list of (typically) very big goals to complete before one dies by focusing on living in the present moment and living life to the fullest. By avoiding massive goals, I avoid the constant and lifelong yearning for these somewhat unrealistic goals. I don’t know if I have tomorrow. None of us do. We cannot live our lives expecting to have tomorrow when it isn’t promised. We have today and should live it how we desire, no matter how small and insignificant these desires may seem. I believe that this piece is both a lifelong ritual of meeting these silly goals, but I also see it as a ritual in my day-to-day life as a constant reminder to live life in the present moment. Clementine Issue 02 is on its way from the printer so keep an eye out to read the actual poem. #ritual #prompt #continuingtheconversation #proposition02 #clementinejournal #future #past #perspective #journal #life #curiosity #creativity #moments #stories #writing #objective #ideas #gratitude
