2020 best of the net nominations

A hearty BLONGRATULATIONS to our 2020 Best of the Net nominees!!!

These six poems from issue four have truly stayed in our minds and our calf muscles since the moment we read them. We were honored to have had the chance to publish them, and now we are bouquets of giddy to be nominating them for Best of the Net. It was not an easy process, as issue four was full of blongstonishing poems and we continue to feel just deeply proud of the issue as a whole. After much deliberation, we’re thrilled to present these nominees; we’re so glad for the chance to further promote and support these poems, these poets.

• "song of 臭豆腐 (stinky tofu)" by Jennifer Huang

• "Milk" by Ina Cariño 

• "Sonnet" by Bailey Cohen-Vera

• "Metadata" by Jess Rizkallah

• "dear god/oh god" by Niyanta Kunal Patel

• "my dream funeral" by Panda Wong

Let us celebrate these six poems, today and every blongy day! Thank you all, again, for this incredible work.
