SPRUNG FORMAL
Sprung Formal is a literary arts journal published annually in association with the Liberal Arts Department at the Kansas City Art Institute.
Since 2005, Sprung Formal has been a student-edited and produced literary magazine. We pride ourselves on combining professional content with professional-grade student work, in a magazine that is itself an interesting object.
WINDFALL ROOM
Windfall Room is a poetry publication & archive presenting high-quality video recitations.
We love all manner of poems. The most common way to experience a poem, even on digital platforms, is through the written word. Far less common by comparison, but no less wonderful, is to experience a poem well-recited by a human. We wish to be a place for recited poems.
Each issue Windfall Room publishes a poet reciting one of their own works in a high-quality audio/video format. There is no accompanying text version of the poem.
