Hydration: Spring 2025

Hydration, Spring 2025, is the second poetry collection centered on work from residential Arizona poets following the theme of "absorption". The work collected here is representative of the local spoken word, slam, and also traditional poetry scenes across the state. You will read pieces heard on stages like Ghost Poetry Show, Fruity Poetry Night, PHX Slam by B-Jam, Gay Panic, flagslam, and more. You will also find the work of published and unpublished poets alike. Volume Two's featured poets include Camille LeFevre, Skyelyn Riggs-Davis, Trevor Ruth, and Dylan Webster. This literary magazine project was edited and published by PopTab Press, a company founded and run by local Arizona poet Cierra C. Crea. Both Cierra and H.D. Dean were the editors on this edition.
