PSAs. Please share. Our next free-submissions window opens on Nov 16. We're also reading for The SmokeLong Grand Micro Contest until Nov 15 and The SmokeLong Emerging Writer Fellowship until Dec 15. SmokeLong will always have free-submissions windows.
Mostly, we don't know what to say, so we try and say the next best thing. It's all art can do, approximate as much as possible the experience of a life. We never quite get it right, but we get it close enough that someone out there sighs heavily: "yeah, me too."...
Friends, share that squaring up of all mighty and aching feeling with us. Subs close in 8 days.

"Above Bone Pile Farm clouds of starlings
twist above bare fields. Unnamed islands
cut by sloughs, fields of wapato arrowhead flags
A swinging railroad bridge, trailers on dirt
in the bend at Burke’s Slough, a dragon fly
Blueberry fields bursting fruit"

9 days left before submissions close. Join us out in the clearing, where the crisp autumn air, despite all the pain that is still there, softens the hard edges of us into something like the subtle feeling that we really are OK and belonging in the world.

People make it loud & clear that while they speak of positivity, mental health & being a good friend, they don't in fact like when someone becomes a person who needs them.
So now I'm more quiet.
Now I barely talk to anyone.
& worst of all:
Now I am needy

Some damage gets done in trying to overcome where we come from. Much of it we do to ourselves, but not all of it. It’s imperative that we struggle in that place where struggle is hardest: inner terrain...
"Picture a tree with a loud voice, a mountain of knees too big
for the café table, hunched shoulders and a direct
regard, a beer close at hand and a joke repeated--
a guy who bumped uneasy elbows with the world
of alarm-clock setters and self-care."

"The one who tugs the hardest, is the hardest to love, but that's just it, it's how it is, I'll throw it if you catch it, I got lots more to give" Many of us go through life feeling like we are too much or not enough, or like our pieces just don't fit. Maybe we're not supposed to
fit. We're a mis-fit, and it can be a heavy valley to walk through, but a lot gets revealed in that place. Bottom line: we keep giving our love because love is nothing without the giving. Friends, Our submissions close in 10 days. Share your light with us. heroinchic.weebly.com
"Just west of Lake Charles, false dawn glows so bright
it all-but swallows the glare of Interstate lights.
I speed through miles of chemical refineries,
their amber bulbs twinkling from distillation columns...
Welcome to the South: the glass half empty"

Hello friends, our submissions have been running low. With under 3 weeks left before submissions close, if you could help us to spread the word it would be so greatly appreciated. All categories are open but we especially need more artwork/photography. heroinchic.weebly.com
"Down here on the corner of ruin and grace", we struggle up, we reach out, we look in, and we look out for each other, because we're all we've got. And it's messy and it's hit and miss and always full of reasons to call it quits...
But hope is a persistent fire. And it burns on in us, in our words, visions, and in our life. Friends, share your hope with us. Submissions close in a little under two weeks.

"There was nothing but hope that night- my father’s new job, his rental house in Jupiter, his six months of sobriety, anything was possible... There you are, I always say, the one uncomplicated day."

"And pain will be on every map just like north is, pain will be in every year just like August", it's what we do with the pain that matters. We sift and sort and chisel at the stone of our story until something in the dark of us shines through and true...
"punk rock is never about rage —
it is about resurrection.
About turning silence
into sound,
and memory
into mercy."
