POIESIS IS the para-literary journal of w the trees & publishes a wide-range of writers, artists, and genre-expansive creators two times a year in the form of a handmade, short-run journal, which is simultaneously published online. the general focus of the journal is on the cosmic-making, po(i)etic, tender, nonbinary, & iconoclastic.
Poiesis is about a kind of tender being-with while alive — a po(i)etics of (to)gethering/gathering— of beings & forms of life—a collective breathing, lung/ing, that metastisizes an unscripted sociality, hearkening a more radical, loving futurity.
