THIS WEEK’S CONTEST WINNER

Congratulations to William Lynn for his poem
“The Box” 📦

With sharp imagery and emotional restraint, this piece explores confinement, identity, and the quiet weight of what we carry—both chosen and imposed. Each line feels intentional, drawing the reader inward until the box becomes something deeply familiar.
