Stream

By Anna Smetanenko

Posted on January 27, 2022

A wax egg and water

Morning cupola,
I clay.
Shape of a sprout,
My bright canvas
Is a stream, a still.
I am non-tongued, but inner.
I am learning how to breathe as water.

– Anna Smetanenko

SUMMER 2025 SUBMISSION PERIOD DELAYED TO JUNE 1

We’ve postponed the start of our summer reading period to June 1 so that we can work through our remaining submissions from Dec and Jan. Thanks for understanding, and keep an eye out for Submittable to be open for submissions on June 1!

PRINT ANTHOLOGIES!

We’ve released several print anthologies! Please check it out (as well our previous ones) and maybe even spread the word and/or purchase some? We’d be very grateful and humbled 😁

Give and Receive!

We still have leftover stock from AWP, so if you hit the support us! button below and donate $20 or more, you’ll receive a free 2014, 2015, or 2016 print anthology (your choice, obviously) and a free magnet (upon request)!! What are you waiting for? 😁
