The fall issue is going to release later than planned. The editors are hard at work, but the increased number of submissions, technical difficulties, & life, the process has moved slower than planned. Please know that we are taking the time we need to assemble an issue that honors our contributors.

We are blown away by the wonderful poems that have come our way this window. The team’s goal was to send out responses by today, but we received so many subs that we are still making final decisions. Thanks to everyone who has checked in on their submission. We hope to get responses out next week.

Are you ready for Issue 1.2? Submissions open Monday!
