Deadline extension and a wretched new year

 

Megan Volpert and I have extended the deadline for submissions to the Stevie Nicks anthology until Feb. 12. We had a number of poets reach out to us who are working on poems and ask for an extension, so this new deadline gives everyone a chance to try and get something in. Keep 'em coming. The guidelines and Submittable portal are at this link. 

Sadly, the new year is off to a wretched start: the terror attack in New Orleans, the devastating LA wildfires, the tech bros kowtowing to Trump and the four-year shitshow to come. And although we knew Jimmy Carter's passing was imminent, it was still sad to lose a man who had dedicated so much of his life to public service. I met him and Rosalynn a decade or so ago randomly at an art festival in Atlanta. A sweet man. Honestly, so much has happened in the first couple of weeks of 2025 that it already feels like another year. 

I seriously want to get off all the social media platforms and just come back to blogging here on a more regular basis.
