FLORETS Magazine

FLORETS: A Magazine for Young Poetics. We are a self-published, queer-based** zine featuring Berlin-based poets who have never before seen their work in print before. Our aim is to lessen the barrier to publishing access for emerging writers, with the group of organizers forging this idea from the beloved, long-standing Berlin Spoken Word community.

The team producing this publication contains queer, trans, and BIPOC members. The team is committed to consistently reflecting and learning to sensibly work with their respective dimensions of discrimination and privilege.

**The expression 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐫-𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 was suggested by a queer founding member’s friend, to describe the general orientation of the project. The full description may be found here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5TN2zzI44A

We are in full curation mode for Volume 2 to be ready by Miss Read 2024, and are also actively developing additional series concepts for other thematic publications under our growing publishing collective.
