We would usually have opened up submissions again by now, but we are taking a pause to think about what's next.

For the past few editions, we haven't recouped all of our costs and this is largely down to the increasing expense of sending out contributor copies...

Hello, here is your #wordoftheweek!

Apologies for the brief pause in words of the week - our designer (aka husband) is juggling a full-time job and a university course at the moment so his time is very limited!

We have been sharing play-themed poems all this week from our 'toys' and 'hobbies' editions. Today's piece is aptly named Play by JH Rice with accompanying illustration by Evan Linville.
