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.

Simultaneous submissions and work you have posted on social media are both welcome. Please let us know right away if your work gets accepted elsewhere!
