I’ve heard, “Only poets read poetry.” But what if that’s because those who read poetry feel so drawn to it they have start writing poems too. It’s like poetry sucks you in and transforms you into a poet.

@pulpliterature Oh good to know! And i did. I didnt get a response though so I was worried it wasnt going through or I had been rejected and was annoying people 😬

Pulp Literature@pulpliterature·26 Nis

@MVCpoet Ah, poems are a different beast. It often takes the poetry editors up to a year to respond. Have you tried emailing pulpliteraturepoetry (at) gmail ?

Michael VanCalbergh@MVCpoet·21 Nis

@MVCpoet Thanks Michael! We're just finishing up the November subs and starting in on April soon. If you submitted in November and haven't heard from us, it may mean your story's getting a second read.

There is hope. There is revolutionary, radical hope. I don't feel it often, but it touches me in fleeting moments. I'm clinging. I'm trying to promise myself to not let go.
