CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

What we’re looking for:

Poetry submissions for our upcoming anthology on the theme of Work.

What you like about your job. Why you hate it. How you got hired. How you got canned. What it’s doing to your body. What it’s doing to your head.

And we all know that work is not always about working for a paycheck. Parenting, caregiving, volunteering, and all the other ways of serving pro bono is also work. Maybe even harder sometimes than punching a clock.

There’s a modest fee to submit, and cash awards for the top three poems—plus free copies
for all poets who are included in the anthology.
