We published "I Don't Want To Talk About It" in March 2023. Free the Verse is a quarterly poetry magazine. Since our inception, we've published an issue every quarter, plus weekly poet interviews. Interested in joining the community? Our submissions are open now. “I Don’t Want To Talk About It is an issue about loud absences. Our contributors are observers of the unspoken: they each sense something moving beneath the surface and choose to bring it into the open.” — Zara Shams, Executive Editor
