Replying to @lizmmusic
Unfortunately, our poetry submissions are capped at 100 submissions due to our small team. If that category isn’t visible on Submittable, then we’ve reached our cap. We’ll be available for poetry submissions again in the fall!

My second poem in @ANMLY_LIT, "A Canon of Constraints"! 🔥🎆 "We carry scars that we keep picking into cicatrices, where we are circling a moot point like hawk with a clover in its claws / I know they are called talons but after the war, is our existence not a misnomer?"
