Many, we work more as an art blog.

Not Your Mothers Breast Milk is an art blog dedicated to sharing stories about the human experience, connecting with one another, and giving artists an outlet to express their struggles and successes on this journey through life.

We're looking for something that makes us feel. It can make us feel joy, sadness, anger, silliness, etc, etc. Just make us feel something.

Have a piece that you love that maybe needs a little more work? Send it in! Our editing team will look it over and give you feedback about how you could make it stronger! When submitting, put "Tweak" in the subject line to let us know you want feedback on it!

Poetry of social protest. I like poetry that "misappropriates" ancient spiritual wisdom. I like risque poetry. Think Neruda, Lorca. I like troubled lives that heal.

Please send a representative sample of poems (5-10) before sending an entire manuscript. Send an inquiry and a bio that tells me who you are, your accomplishments, your journey.

We publish poetry with mystical undertones, making religious imagery your own. We publish protest poems from the frontlines. We don't want timid or ranting verse. We want your heart, your love, your tenderness. We want you to learn to be honest with yourself in your art because art is the only place a being can be true perfectly. Don't shirk that responsibility in the craft. And don't feel obliged to impress me as an editor. Your submission has already impressed me! Send 3-5 poems max. Start now.

Be sure to read guidelines carefully, and explore the archives. We no longer provide physical copies but offer a PDF version and a discount code to order the edition we feature you in, and future editions also.

The Sun is an independent, ad-free magazine that for more than forty years has used words and photographs to evoke the splendor and heartache of being human. Each monthly issue celebrates life, but not in a way that ignores its complexity. The personal essays, short stories, interviews, poetry, and photographs that appear in The Sun’s pages explore the challenges we face and the moments when we rise to meet them.

Gazing Grain Press is an inclusive feminist chapbook series edited by alumni of George Mason University’s MFA program and sponsored by the Fall for the Book literary festival. We promote and publish feminist work by writers of all genders and sexualities. We publish chapbooks, miniatures, and our blog features book reviews, interviews, and a feminist writing resource database. We believe that inclusive feminism should make available a space for celebrating poetry that comes from a diversity of writerly identities.

We are interested in socially conscious work that explores ideas of identities as connected to gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity, culture, and ability. We adhere to no one “definition” of feminism–we encourage a broad and diverse range of approaches. Challenge us!

Lines + Stars began as a means of establishing a new creative forum in Washington, D.C., a city that all-too-often coasts solely on its more mechanistic pursuits. While many of our contributors hail from the D.C. area, we've also expanded our writer-base to include national and international voices. L+S Press is our chapbook-publishing arm.

What a Literary Magazine is Supposed to be About: The Writers, Artists and Above All, YOUR Voice!We strongly, passionately believe that instead of being taught what to think, we should be teaching each other how to think, and also be taught how to think. Only then will we discover the capabilities of our own individual cognitive abilities. It’s another step toward shattering the mold. WRITE WHAT YOU WRITE, not what you think we want you to write.

What we WON’T TOLERATE or ACCEPT:-Racism -Misogyny -Vulgarity for vulgarity’s sake (i.e., think: an endless, nonsensical urban dictionary. No, no and no.) -Deeply disturbing ideals and/or fantasies *Important thing to note here: This is not to say in any way, shape or form that we won’t accept something dark, edgy, thought-provoking or writing containing violence or profanities–there’s a line, however. You’ll know when you’ve crossed it. As for concepts or stories about the existence of racism and misogyny, that’s different. I mean that I won’t accept or tolerate literature perpetuating or stating overt racist ideals or sexism.
