Ruminous



Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.

We are looking for verse which is surreal, dark, or contemplative. And we place a high value on form.

Though, we also welcome less traditional implementations of rhyme and meter, and ask further: what does ‘Ruminous’ mean to you?


This market charges a fee of $3.00 to submit.
