After Happy Hour - Poetry
(Fiction) (Nonfiction)
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Note: this publication may close early for submissions if they reach a submission quota; these early closures will not be tracked in this listing.
Aesthetically, we're looking for things that challenge. Challenge form, challenge language, challenge society, challenge your rival to a bake-off, but most importantly, challenge yourself to exceed what came before you and to be your own voice. Shrug off your cliches and hang-ups and give us something new. Poetry, in whatever form it takes, can move our hearts and brains in places that other arts can't. Embrace it. Run wild.
