Weasel Press is currently calling for poetry and artwork submissions for a new-ish literary journal called Degenerates: Voices for Peace! The purpose of the project is to awaken, enlighten and maybe even provide a bit of shelter to those who need it. Poetry has some immense power in the world, either through healing its readers or inspiring them to become involved. We’re looking for Poetry, Photography, Artwork, Prose Poetry, etc with passion. We need to be able to feel and experience your work. There is a wealth of social justice and other topics that we are looking at to put this anthology together. Things such as: Bullying, sexuality, Homelessness, Free Speech, Animal Rights, Rape Culture, Domestic Abuse, and much more. Artwork and written work does not have to be strictly political but must address something that would be a voice for peace.

You
there’s a man in the floor above me. He
shouts cocaine-driven obituaries at the
television when it’s 4AM, hoping that one
day his words will spread roots in the
wiring and come to life. if you asked
him where his home is, he couldn’t tell you.
he doesn’t know what home is; doesn’t know
that something can exist outside of you.
We’re a lot alike, this man and i. pushing
our paranoia into parachutes to keep
from reaching the ground; prayers
folded into coins in hopes you’ll answer them.
we whisper our dreams through the a/c vents,
but our tongues are not a language you understand.
though you’ve dissolved from us, we still
taste your presence, stuck with only cannonball
memories to take out the rest of the devastation
left in our bones. such is your persuasion in our deliriums.
early morning winds howl at the window as you
rise in the east, frost warming away. his mantras
slowly die off, enamored at the illusion of your
presence, waiting for you to play our hearts as they lay.
such manifestos are born out of
addiction, contracted by your hands.
