Issue 38: POP! is officially live!

We could not be prouder of this issue. Thank you to all of our contributors and readers. Click the link in our bio to see what pops ⭐️

Editors Note:
I just want to thank everyone for reading, contributing, and interacting with Gulf Stream since Issue 37: WET! I graduated from the MFA program at FIU on Tuesday, which means my time as Editor-in-Chief has come to an end. I've had so much fun putting these sister issues together and seeing the reaction to WET! has meant so much to me. I hope you all enjoy POP! just as much. It's been a privilege working with Gulf Stream and all of your work. I'll be passing the torch to Kamila Izquierdo, which means the magazine will remain in the best of hands. Thanks for putting up with my themed calls. Stay wet, make it pop, and Gulf Stream 4ever 🩵

Sincerely,
Michael Cuervo
(soon-to-be-former) Editor-in-Chief 😉

We're so excited to announce that we are now nominating for literary awards!

Here are our outstanding nominations for 2026 Pushcart Prizes. We love and admire every single piece we publish, so it's difficult to choose which to nominate - but these six contributors made an undeniable splash. Go back and re-read "Ladies Lazari" from Issue 36, and click the link in our bio to read the nominated pieces from our current issue (f you haven't already 😉).

Congratulations to the nominees!

Much love,

The Editors

Drumroll please...

Congratulations to our winning poet and honorable mentions! Thank you to everyone who submitted. Your poems made us very, very wet in many different ways. Keep an eye out for Issue 37 so you can read these poems along with many other great poems, essays, stories, non-genre conforming (wet!) pieces!

Also, stay tuned for the next couple of months... you never know what other contest (or 2!) is waiting behind the corner just itching to pop out...

Congratulations, again, and we're so excited to share Issue 37: WET! with you all very soon 🩵

Love,

The Editors
