Another bumper crop of poetry, with a little flash fiction thrown in, was posted on the site in August.  Extra posting days were made available to accommodate all the beautiful submissions we received.  Some were general, un-themed submissions, some were responses for “Summer 2020”, but all were wonderfully written and evocative.

Enjoy!
