Bomb #176 - Summer 2026

Bomb #176 - Summer 2026

The authors, artists, and performers featured in BOMB’s summer issue model what making art can be in 2026. Their practices offer new methods to sustain creativity and support healing, engage language as a means of salvation, and mine personal and national histories with empathy and wit. The poetry and prose in our summer issue consider a range of subjects, from mysterious ailments to locker room conflicts to the last gringo president of the US.
