Publication in Spring of 2022
For your poem and your micro prose feel free to interpret the theme as broadly as
possible — a family portrait framed in couplets, a profile sketched in single syllables, a lyrical snap, the
selfie as distortion, or even a sweeping epicpic.
Portraits capture our human essence, our longings and desires, both our comic and tragic sensibilities.
Portraits can project our innermost and outermost dimensions. Portraits put a stamp on identity as well
as mark a “Wanted” poster. A portrait can be either biographical or unreal, domestic or surreal. Think
Self‐portrait in a Convex Mirror. Think Picasso. Think Lucian Freud. Think Yousuf Karsh or Annie Leibowitz.
Think all that words can do when a picture is only worth a thousand!
