From Schrodinger’s Cat’s Diary

Robby Cale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Reiki practitioner living in Whitefish, Montana. This is his first published poem, though he’s spent decades playing with words, performing stand-up, improv comedy, and community theatre. His poetry moves across themes like politics, wellness, and sci-fi, always aiming to stir something real. Robby writes to make sense of uncertainty for himself, and hopefully for others, too.

*Submissions are Currently Open* 

The Pangaea Prize is awarded for the best series of poems, ranging between two and seven poems in a group. Judging will be based on poems as individual entities as well as their cohesiveness – that can be in terms of common themes, images, narrative, or however else you would like to group your poems. All poems must be previously unpublished.  There are no restrictions on length or style.

The winning poet receives $100 and will be featured in an interview on The Poet’s Billow website. The winning poems will be published and displayed in the Poet’s Billow Literary Art Gallery. Finalists will also be considered for publication.

We nominate for the Pushcart Prize, Best of the Net Anthology, and The Best New Poets Anthology.

From Another Future

Another future disappears from the future
suspended in superposition
blinking in and out
until the cloud of probabilities
collapses into tea and toast
in the pale morning light…
