We Are Rainbow Carnage!
We are a publishing house that specializes in LGBTQ+ Poetry and Spoken Word, specifically in the Richmond, Va area.
History
In December of 2023, a disgruntle transgender poet sat at a bar and found out that the gorgeous bartender also wrote poetry. At that fortuitous moment, the two poets flirted with the idea of having a poetry night for the queer community intended and designed to uplift, build, and craft incredible works.
We currently release three zines yearly and release individual poet works in between those releases.

The Night Calls for You to Join
Wether you have an old dusty notebook with some incredible work that we have yet to hear, you are aspiring to build your poetic skills, or you just want to watch, (we like those who just want to watch...) you are welcome to join us on any of our nights.
Also, if you wish to submit any work to us, by all means, we are always looking!!!
