About

We will be accepting poetry and flash fiction on the theme of acceptance. In a world that often seems irreparably divided by differences, acceptance serves as a bridge that connects us, reminding us of our shared humanity. Acceptance, or the struggle to accept, can influence our relationships, our outlook on life, and our well-being. Whether it’s accepting our own limitations, accepting challenging situations beyond our control, or holding space for any of the hundreds of facets of human existence that invite judgment, isolation, or torment, we want to hear about your struggles with and your victories in being accepted, in accepting, in making room.
