Length limit: individual poems should not be longer than a page, send us 1-3 in a single word doc or pdf.

For our poetry section, we are looking for poems that grab our attention and activate our emotions with clear images, inventive language, and delicious sounds. Consider experimenting with rhyme and rhythm, concrete poetry, list poetry, acrostics, and other poetic forms.

If you’re not sure where to start, here are some prompts related to our first issue’s theme: Strength.

When you feel strong, how do you experience that feeling? Is it a color you see? A texture you feel? A sensation in your body? Does it make you think of an animal, or a part of nature? Try to show us that experience rather than telling us about it.
Write a spell to summon strength when you or someone else needs it.
Are there words whose sound makes you feel strong when you say them? Use some of these in your poem.
