Present
Gumball Poetry (as a single micro-journal in a capsule machine) was invited to have a permanent home at the fantastic The Stacks Coffeehouse. It is partially submission-based, and partially curated.
I believe it to be one of the more intimate poetry exchanges a reader can have. Put in a quarter, and a single poem is delivered to you as if by divination.
Have a question? Contact Ben via levinofearth.com or try us through the submission form.

Past

The journal ran between 1999 and 2010, garnering press around the world, several grants, and a large community. It was published by Ben Parzybok and Laura Moulton. You can see many incarnations of it at archive.org. eg: October 2007.
