GRIEF
Submissions are closed now!
Edited by Sue Finch and Annick Yerem
Submissions are now open for our next anthology. We are looking for poems and short CNF about grief. By this we mean not only the grief for a person/ for people, but also grief for animals, grief for a place, a home, a time, an idea, our health, the world, climate change. Ambiguous grief, anticipatory grief, collective grief, reflective grief, rituals of grief.
