Friends, we will be closing fiction submissions at the end of May.

A special poetry submission call is coming in June.

A briney folktale of a poem. Give it a read 🌊🐙

A poetry acceptance from Identity Theory. A constant favorite. A constant honor. Always, a humbling in my chest.

Only ⁦Joseph Lezza⁩ could make an Amy Grant song feel vital to a poem that desires its desire so impeccably. ❤️ identitytheory.com/call-me-baby-p…

Y’all, watch me read for Identity Theory. I can read so good!

Time for another poetry reading. Here's 'Call Me Baby' by Joseph Lezza, published earlier this week:

ICYMI, I had a story with Identity Theory last week about drowning and fear and motherhood! identitytheory.com/below-madeline…

Y’all, this piece came to me on the plane back from AWP. I quickly fell in love with it and I’m overjoyed that Identity Theory seems to share that sentiment. And, now, I’m thrilled to be able to share it with you. My new poem, “Call Me Baby.”

'He proposed with a pearl, pried from the heart of an oyster.
It was supposed to be romantic, this taking of a
precious thing. It was supposed to be prophetic.'

Read 'Fisherman's Wife,' a new poem by Katie Bee.

No micro today.

Just poems.

Poems are also short.

'Call me baby,
and do it outside,
in public,
because, for now, they still let us.'
