The Adroit Journal's October issue is particularly special, as it includes work by the recipients of both the 2025 Adroit Prizes in Poetry and Prose and the inaugural Editor's Prizes in Poetry and Fiction.
This virtual prose reading — which will be preceded by a virtual poetry reading the following night, October 28th — will feature some of our fall prize winners and runners-up. We hope you'll cozy up on your couch and join us!
