Theme: yarn<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Poetry<\/strong>: We\u2019re looking for long-form poetry with 80+ lines<\/strong>, prose poems (1+ pgs<\/strong>), sequences, narratives, epics, and expansive forms. The longer the better. Think of it as a test of creative endurance\u2014a marathon! We want to see you to stretch out your legs and send in works that feature texture, depth, rich detail, connections and call-backs. Give us breathlessness; give us run-ons; give us meanwhiles and what-ifs; give us oodles of commas and ampersands. Tangles, patterns, loops, cat\u2019s cradles! Go Impressionistic; go Rococo; go stream-of-consciousness; go Proustian; go microscopic, even. Be jazz! Gild it. Embellish it. Get carried away! The subject matter is entirely up to you, but keep in mind we are not looking for conventional short stories. We want looong poetry.<\/strong> We want to feel the weight and weave of your words. Spin a yarn for us!<\/p>\n

To submit, please email 1 – 4 poems to the editor at engineidling@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You may send poems as a .docx or .pdf attachment, or copy \/ paste them into the body of the email.<\/p>\n
