What is the Feedsack?

John M. Fredericks
Drawing of a printed cotton feed sack stamped The Feedsack, with a thread leading to a dress sewn from gingham, striped and floral cloth.

The Feedsack publishes original poetry, along with writing on culture and politics by people who live inside what they write about. Our writers cover the shows, songs, meals, games and local politics that are part of their own lives.

Naked Parrot: Poems and Stories by John M. Fredericks. Get the paperback on Amazon.

The name comes from the printed cotton sacks that feed and flour were sold in, which rural women sewed into dresses during the Depression and after.

We publish three kinds of writing:

  • Culture: TV, movies, music, sports and food.
  • Politics: local, wherever our writers live, and national.
  • Poetry.

The magazine is edited by Kealie Walker (Culture), Nate Perry (Politics) and John M. Fredericks (Poetry), who is also editor-in-chief.

We’re reading pitches and poems now. If you write about the culture you live in, see our submission guidelines.

Contributors’ opinions are their own. We like range, in form and in thought, and we choose pieces for the writing more than the position. The facts still get checked.

    Dear Editors,
    I just attempted to submit, filled out all of the information including links for previous work and never found the link to upload my submission. Is this a two-step process, or possibly by invitation only. You probably recieved information without a submission.
    Sorry for the confusion.

      Hi Jane – that was my fault, but it’s fixed now. You can also email your work to jack@thefeedsackmag.com
