Playing That Music

Oddball Magazine completes Wednesday's writer/artist focus with contributor John Engstrom. Thanks for joining us during National Poetry Month. More good things to come in May.

Happy Birthday, John Engstrom

Let's get you back in Oddball Magazine for 2026.

This Just In

Poet John Grey and artist John Engstrom both return after a bit of time away to close out what will hopefully be a more quiet Wednesday. Thanks for reading Oddball Magazine today. 

And the Finish

Thanks so much to Joe Levitt for this pride piece to clous out the last Wednesday of Pride Month. Thanks to John Engstrom for the art. And, of course, thanks to you for reading Oddball Magazine this Wednesday. More to come. 

Happy Birthday, John Engstrom

We'll see you back in Oddball Magazine soon.

Eye of the Storm

James Penha closes us out with a storm of haiku with fitting artwork from John Engstrom. Thanks for reading Oddball Magazine this Wednesday. We appreciate you reading us. 

Told Straight

Two different poetic voices today. The differences that will be on display today excite me more than my usual intentional or accidental pairing of themes. First we have John Sweet with artist John Engstrom this Wednesday at Oddball Magazine. 

Closing the Door on National Poetry Month

The last of our writer/artist contributors is John Engstrom Whose painstakingly chosen art is perfect for this salty poem of his. Thanks to John and thanks to all of you who read Oddball Magazine throughout April. 

Happy Birthday, John Engstrom

Gotta get your poetry up at Oddball soon.

Loaded for Bear

Poet Eike Waltz and artist John Engstrom gives us the almost literal final shot. Thanks for reading our final contributors for February at Oddball Magazine. 

Finishing with a Feast

Poet strannikov and artist John Engstrom gives us the grand finale. We're glad you stopped by this Wednesday at Oddball Magazine. 

Turn to the Left, Turn to the Right

Poet Amanda Hawk and artist John Engstrom make the walk down the runway to the end of our Wednesday selections. Thanks for reading Oddball Magazine today. We hope you enjoyed it.

Nobody Knows

Poet J.M. Aveles and artist John Engstrom start Wednesday's journey at Oddball Magazine.

One Last Return

Welcome back Beate Sigriddaughter as two of her poems are accompanied by John Engstrom's artwork. Thank you for reading Oddball Magazine this Wednesday.

Monster Finish

I love this combination from poet Tripp J Crouse and artist John Engstrom. Thanks for stopping by this Wednesday at Oddball Magazine, the source of your post-July Fourth poetry.

 

From Heated Up to Unheated

I love ending with inspired parings. This final one comes from poet John Grey and artist John Engstrom. Thank you so much for reading Oddball Magazine this fine Wednesday. I'm very happy with the work on display today.

Another Poet New to Our Virtual Pages

Poet Andy Eycott and artist John Engstrom start off another Wednesday at Oddball Magazine.

Wild Start

Willfully unhinged poet Bobby Parrott starts off the last Wednesday of National Poetry Month with artwork by John Engstrom. Let's do it right today at Oddball Magazine. 

Welcome Home

Emma Wells has appeared in our magazine quite a bit since 2023 started. I normally avoid such back-to-back returns from non-columnists (artists and writers of our current event pieces being reluctant exceptions), but this poem was too good to not pair up with artwork from new contributing artist John Engstrom. 

Enjoy them both, and thank you all for reading us this Wednesday at Oddball Magazine. We'll see you in April.
