Welcome to Pine Row's Autumn 2025 issue, and thank you for your support and readership. This issue marks the 11th for the journal, and the next issue is scheduled for this winter. I hope you enjoy these poems as I much as I do, and the unique voice they share that is like a bear hug of life, fully aware of all its beauty and complexity and struggle and bewilderment. 

Pine Row Press Books is pleased to announce the acceptance of four new manuscripts from the open submission period earlier in the year. The books are by the following poets: Thorpe Moeckel  (2025), Melissa Andrés (2026) , Sharon Perkins Ackerman  (2026), and Tracey Knapp  (2026). Congratulations to these poets.

The next manuscript reading period is now open through Nov. 30.

All best wishes to you this season.
