[light study] is a poetry journal.
We publish poems and translations of poems. We’re interested in all poetic styles and want to read left-aligned poems, as well as the off-kilter, the experimental, and the opaque. Above all, we want to publish work that feels new, exciting, glowing, radiating, lit from within–
Now reading for the first issue, to be published winter 2026.
