Summer Submissions open this Saturday! Send me your best summery poems, prose & art work. And remember: $10 will be awarded to a single best poem, prose and artwork for the Summer Contest. There is no set theme, but anything that relates in some way to summer will definitely rise to the top. Think sun, yellow, warm, flowers, bees, gardens, lakes, pools, beaches, thunderstorms, cocktails, vacation, birds, fireflies, concerts . . . and please feel free to be creative! Thunderstorms could be a turbulent relationship. Fireflies could be something positive allowing you to see through a dark time. I'm so loooking forward to seeing new work. Spread the word to your writing / artist friends, family, reading groups, etc. I'd love to see lots of new creative minds join us.
