when we say a poem is a "fake poem" we don't mean that it is inferior, if anything we mean the opposite. a lot of poetry suffers from a sense of its own importance. interesting things happen when conventional and unconventional texts veer towards the poetic. interesting things happen when poems forget that they are poems. this blog is a literary version of that moment when a child tries to look at the edge of their vision but doesn't quite get there quickly enough. think you have a few fake poems that we would like? please send texts, images, videos, audios and links (with any links and short bio you would like included) to subs.fakepoems@gmail.com . we like weirdness over whimsy, experiments over exercises, cryptids over chimeras & mongrels over monuments.
