Most events are installed on their deadline date, unless there is a long submission window or unless it's a rolling submission.
P=Poetry, N=Nonfiction, F=Fiction
In this strange heat
they motor across window-frame continents,
oceans of glass, red-brick deserts.
Busy going nowhere.
The smallest are barely here: grains
of strawberry Space Dust, spinning gems.
….
I try to blow the spiderling away
but Little Red holds on to the end
of a sentence – its Super Mite legs
barely visible. Brushed aside
it is forever blood across the page.
– From “Little Red,” Sarah Wimbush, 2022
