This anniversary issue marks our fifth year of publishing Pinhole Poetry! We’re excited to share these poems and photographs with you and we’re very grateful to be trusted with all of this amazing work. Because some of the poems have long lines, we recommend reading on a computer or tablet to maintain formatting, but rotating your phone will also work in a pinch! Enjoy and share widely!
