Braving the Body Anthology

A project of Harbor Editions (see other related projects).

Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (September 2023). We provide the following information as an archive.

About

Braving the Body invites poets to reflect on the experience of living in a body. We believe poetry serves as the connective tissue between lived, embodied experiences and the rich internal world. What does it mean to be in a body which can both betray us and bring us ecstacy–a suffering body, a mothering body, a body in its “prime,” a body in the midst of change, a body which has experienced trauma or neglect, a body which is simply trying to get its morning coffee or move out the door? What stories of our bodies can we share which will offer healing and restoration, not just for ourselves but for the world?

Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for some submissions. They charge fees for submissions after the first 300.
