Ok, I love love love this poem, written with @dustinbrookshire.bsky.social , but I love this photo of us from @jebloemeke.bsky.social 's big birthday party a couple of years ago even more. We look like we're auditioning for a bad 80s sitcom and I live for it!

Youth Villages seeks LGBTQ+ mentors for struggling kids

Courtesy Youth Villages When kids come to Youth Villages, they’re in need of a place for healing. The nonprofit is dedicated to helping children who experience emotional and behavioral issues and disorders, abuse, substance use, or suicidality. The Youth Villages facility in Douglasville doesn’t look like a stereotypical psychiatric resident facility; while there, children will enjoy 1,200 acres of experiential therapy services, schooling, animal therapy with horses and dogs, ropes courses, a lake for canoeing, and much more.

HFR’s Fiction & Poetry Contest is now open for submissions! Send us your work, win money! Submit here: haydensferryreview.com/haydens-ferr... Entry fee is $23/$15 with a print/digital subscription, but if that's a barrier, stay tuned for a short free subs window later this month!

Are journals/presses still enforcing typeface requirements for submissions these days? I ask because I just read several subs in a row, each with a different typeface/font/size and, in Submittable, all displayed clearly. Also, I'm that person who clicks the viewer up to 125% zoom so I can sit back!

Gratitude to @soflopojo.bsky.social for publishing this collaborative contoured villanelle I wrote w/ @djvorreyer.bsky.social Read all of issue 36! We’re in great company. & you can hear us read our poem on the website. #poem #poetry #writers southfloridapoetryjournal.com
