A journal of text & image, petrichor publishes your double mesostics, collage clips, double/triple haibun, asemic cryptolectics, glitching phrases, semiotic pictographs, or just something new. Old school remixes for the digital age will not go unspun. GIFpoetics & code tomes welcome, too. We welcome underrepresented voices and unheard approaches to poetics and the melding of text & image. And lately? We’re feeling angry. If you aren’t seeing you out there, send yourself here.
