If you want to know more about what we’re looking for, read the Introductions page, or the same paragraph on our Submittable page below. But in short, we want work that is good, surprising, and soul-filling. Honestly, we want cups of coffee and afternoon walks, and the chili we’re making for dinner tonight to be the same, but we’re holding out more hope for the poetry. We have high standards, and we want you to, too. Any feedback we have for you will be honest, and from a limited (first-person, singular) perspective.
