Cobalt Poets: broadsides

Broadsides

For each of our featured readers we publish a broadside featuring one of their poems. We do this to compensate our featured readers for their time because we: a) think it's a cool thing to do, b) don't have any money to pay our featured readers, and c) feel funny about passing the tip hat around. We hope you'll download the digital broadsides and, during the live readings, tip the featured poet via PayPal or Venmo.
