PUBLISHER OF POETRY, FICTION, & NONFICTION

Joshua Adams, author of Past Lives (Jackleg Press), recently sat down with d.S. randoL, a poetry reader for Variant Lit, to discuss his debut collection. As a past contributor to Variant Lit—with his poem “Views” included in Past Lives—Adams explores the philosophical depth, experimental forms, and the tension between logic and emotion that shape the book.

Lindsey Schaffer’s poem “Untitled” appeared in the very first issue of Variant Lit back in 2019. In the time since, she published a chapbook, City of Contradiction, (Selcouth Station 2022) , became a Poetry Editor of Variant, and wrote a second chapbook, Witch City, (dancing girl press) which is now available for preorder.
