Hydration

Hydration, Autumn 2025, is the third art and poetry collection centered on work from residential Arizona poets and artists. The work collected here is representative of local visual arts, 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 You will also find the work of published and unpublished artists alike. Volume Three's featured poets include Dayna J. Francois, Carson Redmon, A.C. Saíz, and Margot Berlin. The featured visual artists include Jo Rohrbacker, Julia Eck, and Hannah Carrizoza. 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.
