very excited & proud to have 2 poems forthcoming in this!
Volume 4 will release April 30! We’re a little bit behind, so it may be a few days before some platforms have it available to purchase due to the somewhat unpredictable review process. Digital will be available for sure on the 30th on Patreon, however!

APOLOGIES! I have decided to delay publication for a day or two due to various circumstances, including yet another spring migraine. The issue will be rebranded as "May" instead of "April" but will still release in the next couple of days! I apologize for the delay!

Now right-wing trolls are posting “submissions.” Yay… Waste of time. I don’t have any kind of large funding, I don’t make any money from this… but some right wing author with no sense of morality got angry I guess that no one likes his work so he’s taking it out on “woke.” I’ll wear it as a badge.

That's all we are to them—the ones at the very top, the far right, the lawmakers who would strip away our rights . . . There is no cost they wouldn't pay to silence us.

I am catching up on submissions before our next window opens on Dec 1. I have just been blown away, really. There's just so many good submissions, and I don't even have time to write custom rejections because all that time adds up over hundreds of submissions. This is such a blessing and curse!

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.

We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

rainyweatherdays.com is going through some changes. Our focus is going to start shifting to resistance literature. It’ll take some work.
