Tips From the Editor
We want writing that takes risks while still paying attention to craft. We are happy to see prose poems, stories that burst into poems, poems that burst into stories, etc. Mixing genres doesn’t scare us. Of course boring, self-involved, over-inflated pap turns us off. We publish poems, fiction, nonfiction, and plays.
We also host a yearly contest for poetry and/or prose. The prize is a $1,000 purse and publication. For contest guidelines, visit the website.
