With alt text Check out @epistemiclit.bsky.social’s next issue, dropping this week: #Resistance

Don’t necessarily agree with this but it’s amusing. Also, scandalized my spouse last night by mentioning the existence of the prose poem and implying that, yes, it is different from poetic prose. 😆 #Poetry www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/the...

Estimated publication day is May 1st — this Thursday! 👀. Keep your eyes peeled for cover art and contributor lists in the next few days! #Resistance

#Disability #Poetry for preorder!

Something 'soft' in @theprideroars.bsky.social today. CW: Strong language

I recently read Citizen by Claudia Rankine and it’s among those books I think everyone should read (I do not recall whether this excerpt is from that particular book). Particularly the first third of the book.

Oh boy! Indie Bookstore Day is this weekend! While we are sad not to be participating (except as shoppers), we want to promote buying books at indie stores. MN is lucky to have a great Indie bookstore scene! twincitiesgeek.com/2025/04/the-...

Story spotlight: Lina’s Story by @oagennaro.bsky.social in our first issue Vital reading—for our girls, and our boys, and grown-ups too. Amazingly captures the voice of a middle schooler in crisis. #MeToo #TakingAStand epistemiclit.com/nimblewitlit...

Rain.forest by @liapas.bsky.social “these trees tell me how to be still & strong even when I am wet and heavy even when I am laden, so many young & tender things hang from me, so easily dropped” epistemiclit.com/past-issues/...

Crows: epistemiclit.com/past-issues/...

I’ll be there next weekend reading something, and listening to others read, and wishing @mattkendrick.bsky.social well on his fabulous charity event!!!

We are not HAD. We do not get 1000 submissions in 15 minutes so we're still going to be open for a bit. However, if we do publish your work we send you a human skull in the mail. duotrope.com/duosuma/subm...

Absolutely delighted to have made the Furious Fiction longlist this month. ❤ www.writerscentre.com.au/blog/furious...

New posts up at IG in @brokenheartsliterary today. See micros and photos from @pleomorphic2.bsky.social and @nadiaking.bsky.social. Also, this weekend watch for a special call for May 👀👀

Today's #April3030 prompt: Write a poem in which your parents send you a box of stuff you left at their house and you, as a result, "unpack your childhood." Bonus points if the box includes memories, feelings, and/or a horse.

For some, prom is a night remembered with fondness. For others, it's a bitter memory of stupid choices and missed opportunity. So throw on your most comfy clothes and travel over words and through pages to a magical experience you won't soon forget.

There are two pieces in this list from our second issue — “Crows” by Carole Greenfield and “rain.forest” by @liapas.bsky.social We encourage you to read them both, and the rest of the pieces on the list! #EarthDay #Poetry #Environment

Guess who’s open for submissions for our debut editon? WE ARE! Details in link. We’re new and we may be a little nuts but we care about your work. Give us a try? templeinacity.com/submit-writi...

Look what I (gave myself) got in my Easter basket!

This piece is gorgeous. Just sharing.

This Sunday. Live poetry, Kaurna land. I’m guest poet. 2 truths & a lie about my set: - I’ll take you to a B&B. I’ve stayed there before, the food is epic - I’ll introduce you to my new lover - I’ll reveal my spiritual connection to a commonly grown garden plant. www.facebook.com/share/16KTaj...

Tomorrow, my short story "When We Were Young" will be published in Wild Ink Press' Prom Perfect. It's the prequel to my very short story "Hello Mello". So while you wait for tomorrow to come, turn on a little early 2000s alt/indie and read "Hello Mello" einetogicuentos.blogspot.com/2025/04/hell...

I LOVE @natflashfictionday.bsky.social and my weird family movie night story will be in it! Yuss! Hope you’ll all submit this week. It’s a great place to be published with reserved slots for debut authors. Thank you so much to the brilliant, supportive team 🧡🧡🧡
