HERON TREE is open for volume 12 submissions through May 15th. We're looking for found poems created from materials published in or before 1929. We have an additional, special call in celebration of our 12th regular volume: found poems (still from pre-1930 materials) that incorporate 12 in some way.

"The way has revealed near-by / and distant views, the sequestered delight / where the girls feast on wild / strawberries, which are then soon discarded."
