Hey there! I know, I know \u2013 it\u2019s August 21 and I am writing my first post for the month\u2014yeesh. I don\u2019t have any excuse except that I\u2019ve been looking for solace in this crazy world and coming up short. How about you? I am hoping you are not bogged down by reality.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in July, I had a poem about my childhood in The Writer\u2019s Caf\u00e9 Magazine<\/strong><\/em>. The call was for submissions about landscape and maps so I sent in a poem about walking to grade school \u2013 it\u2019s called \u201cTo Mercy and back again.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 There are many, many fine poems here. None is individually linked. My poem is about fifty poems into the issue, between work by David McVey and Emma Baines. Here is the link to The Writers Caf\u00e9 Magazine<\/a>; the next call is for submissions on the theme of \u201cHome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some time ago, I heard from Arlyn Miller<\/strong>, director of Poetic License, Inc.<\/strong> September 1 is the deadline for submitting work to Poetic License<\/strong> on the theme of Words:(Un)Seen, specifically: \u201cPoetic License Press is seeking poems about the\u00a0<\/strong>experience\u00a0of feeling seen or unseen, understood or misunderstood, ignored or scrutinized. Poems should reflect actual\u00a0firsthand experience, not the perspective of a second party observer.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 You can learn more about the call for submissions and the press and its previous publications at this link for Poetic License, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n

Another place you might consider submitting to is Work Literary Magazine<\/em><\/strong>\u2014check it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Peace, love, and solace<\/strong><\/p>\n
