Riot in Your Throat began as an idea during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 when Courtney LeBlanc found herself teleworking 100% of the time and struggling to keep herself sane and engaged. With a goal of focusing on fierce, feminist voices, she launched Riot in Your Throat in 2021.

Wet Reckless by Victoria Lynne McCoy
Victoria Lynne McCoy’s debut collection of poetry, Wet Reckless, is part elegy to a friend who died too young, part guide to trying to live through unmistakable loss, part prayer for a way forward through grief, and part manual for opening your heart to the joy that still exists. From the opening poem which takes the reader on a ride of what ifs and maybes to the last poem where the speaker pulls herself from grief’s hungry jaws, this collection doesn’t let go. These poems speak to the grip loss and loneliness have on a heart, they speak to the guilt that weighs heavy on those who survive, and the fire of survival and hope that burns low within. These poems stoke the fires of grief while also keeping the embers of joy burning.
