POETRY THAT ENACTS THE ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE PURITY OF GLASS
POETRY THAT ENACTS THE ARTISTIC AND CREATIVE PURITY OF GLASS
Poets Resist
Poets Resist is a current events poetry series, edited by a series of guest editors, published by Glass Poetry Press as part of Glass: A Journal of Poetry. We are looking for poems that reflect the immediacy of the world around us. We are looking for poems that are targeted, and unafraid. We are looking for poems that actively resist by condemning horrors and by celebrating collective strength. Engage. Write. Resist.
If you are interested in being a guest editor for Poets Resist, please take a look at the guest editor guidelines.
