Put the word out that we're back. Think of us. We open 4/20 for a short window for a print issue in the fall. We want poems, prose, art, comics & beyond. Free to submit, free to read online always, we now pay $150 + comp copies + eternal literary infamy. More prestigious than the Paris Review.

I have no agent and no MFA and no massive online following and all of my small successes thus far have come solely from the fact that I can't stop writing (and I think I keep getting better), and I still dream about possible futures like someone in their teens. Also rejection doesn't stop me.
