Reality Detonates! We received countless explosive poems from voices around the globe, each one a spark of raw emotion, truth, and imagination. Our community of writers has shown the power of poetry to flare and to resonate. Each submission was a fragment of lived experience and a testament to courage.

But all good things must come to an end, and submissions for Reality Detonates closed on November 30. You shared your struggles, your worldview, your history, and your fears—leaving us inspired and wanting more. We are immersed in the rich body of work you’ve entrusted to us, assembling an anthology that captures the intensity, honesty, and burning creativity of every contributor.

Stay tuned for updates as we move toward release in February 2026. The fuse is lit, and the countdown begins. We cannot wait to share this extraordinary collection with the world.
