WHERE TO SUBMIT THIS MONTH
along with writing from Jai Michelle Louissen EIC
I’m thirsty and abashed.
The fabric of my childhood underwear triple axels in the wind—wow.
The whole neighborhood watches me do emails, go to therapy: she shed
revenge for forgiveness. Wo Chan June 8 the smiley barista remembers my name
sometimes you begin again. i am standing in a surprise fog in my new wild garden nestled in the hills. a creature suspended between worlds in a surreal charge of mist & faded light. i take a breath; turn my face & shoulders towards the sheen of wet life; this re-arriving moment;
reflecting now “how i have come to love routine”, how the tiny details invite me to witness what is raising up to the sunlight, being beheld by my own attention. Wo Chan’s poem delights in these domestic intimacies, as do i, do give it a read in its entirety here.
for our poets watering their publication progress here are our submission lists for this month…
