Special Sunday Thinking About DNA Call For Submissions
I’m thinking about genetic memory and cultural memory and the line(s) we come from, so the name of this journal seemed somehow right LOL

Friday Call For Submissions :-) Got Book? Send It Out!
I’m working on sending out a new book of prose poems, so I thought I’d share some of the calls for books I’ve found. Thanks to Poets & Writers, to all the good folks on Facebook who host Call for Submissions groups, and especially to Allison Joseph for all of the amazingly generous work she does for the writing community on her fabulous group CWROPPS!
The list here is for current open calls for poetry, for book-length collections, but many of these presses also have calls for prose and for chapbooks at other times of the year, so check them out :-) Some of these are contests; others are open readings periods with reading fees.
Got book? Send it out!
