Weekly Poetry and Flash Contest

For the past two years, we have released one issue per quarter.  Although this gives the readers a rich tapestry of written arts, the readers want more. Based on the feedback we received, we decided to publish one poem and one flash fiction story once a week on the blog. The quarterly magazine is thriving, and we will continue to publish it.

So, starting today, I am opening the submissions for the weekly feature.  Let the excitement begin.
