On May 6, 2025, Vassar Review published Julie Elise Landry's poem "The House on Colbert Street" in Issue 10 of the annual print and digital magazine.

The call for submissions stated, “For our decadal issue, we seek pieces that interrogate superstructure, methods of transmission and omission, and the technical decisions that guide a work’s formal innovations... This year, we ask you to celebrate with us the lie, the liar, and the truths they uncover.”

Landry's poem "The House on Colbert Street" examines the ways that homes, families, and stories both create and contradict childhood memories. Upon accepting the poem, editors expressed being "especially taken with the piece's vivid atmosphere and evocative imagery."

On April 15, 2025, Midway Journal published Julie Elise Landry's poem "PHOBIATA" in Volume 19, Issue 2 of the online magazine.

Midway Journal describes its namesake—a midway—as "a place of boundary crossing," and work published in the journal "aims to complicate and question the boundaries of genre, binary, and perspective. [The work] offers surprises and ways of re-seeing, re-thinking, and re-feeling: a veritable banquet of literary fare."

Landry's poem "PHOBIATA" uses field composition, enjambment, and distressing imagery to instill a sense of disorientation and anxiety in the reader, creating leaps in perspective while contemplating bodies, labor, and estrangement.

On October 1, 2024, Hearth & Coffin Literary Journal published Julie Elise Landry's poems "Artemis Revealed at Gargaphië" and "Director of People & Operations" in the online journal's Vol. 4, No. 1 "Gossip Horror" issue.

Hearth & Coffin "places priority on provocative, exploratory, and accessible works that thrill and open the minds of readers." The "Gossip Horror" issue features poetry, fiction, and non-fiction "written as though you're sharing a freaky story you heard through the grapevine about your neighbor, the woods on the edge of town, the Oval Office - whatevs."

Landry's poem "Artemis Revealed at Gargaphië" imagines the transformation and death of the mythological figure Actaeon from the perspective of the goddess Artemis. The poem was directly inspired by the essay "The Gender of Sound" by Anne Carson in her collection Glass, Irony, and God.

"Director of People & Operations" likewise focuses on a surreal transformation—one that befalls an office employee, as related by her manager.

On September 30, 2024, A-minor Magazine published Julie Elise Landry's poem "Teething" in the online journal's September 2024 issue.

A-minor Magazine states, "We lean toward the surreal, experimental, ambivalent, darkly lyrical, and wildly imaginative... We seek writing that is unconventional, succinct, and emotive."

Landry's poem "Teething" focuses on odd, intrusive thoughts—and on how those mild destructive impulses provide an imagined source of connection with the outside world.
