We love well-crafted poetry and prose that wakes us up, that makes the language we think we know dance to a new tune, that surprises and enlightens. We have a soft spot for writing that addresses issues of social justice, for writing that pushes the envelope artistically, for good writing of many colors and forms. Send us writing that’s so good we can’t put it down.
