16/07/2024

Now that the Poetry by the Sea Conference is over, I'm reading for Mezzo Cammin! Mezzo Cammin welcomes submissions of poetry that pay particular consideration to form, by all poets who SELF-IDENTIFY as women. Poems in structured forms are especially welcome, but poems that use form in interesting and experimental ways are also encouraged. Please submit at least two, and up to six, unpublished poems using our submittable portal. I'm also on the lookout for a visual artist to feature who also self-identifies as a woman.

The keen-eyed reader of the latest issue of Mezzo Cammin journal, out today, may have spotted that there is also a new Timeline essay up! It's on Rachael Wetzsteon, who died too soon, and it was brilliantly written and researched by Patricia Behrens! https://www.mezzocammin.com/timeline/timeline.php?vol=timeline&iss=1900&cat=60&page=wetzsteon

I'm happy to announce that the Summer 2023 Issue of Mezzo Cammin is now live. It features poetry by Jane Blanchard, Barbara Lydecker Crane, Barbara Crooker, Claudia Gary, Julia Griffin, Jean L. Kreiling, Jenna Le, Kathrine Varnes, Joyce Wilson, Marly Youmans, and others. The featured artist is Maureen Alsop. Enjoy! Note: I have opened submissions for the next issue, although I do anticipate going down to just one bumper summer issue per year due to demands on my time. If anyone is interested in applying to be a featured poet, featured artist, or writing prose/criticism for the next issue, please let me know!
