We provide the following information as an archive. About For this ten-day challenge, Frontier seeks poetry written as letters to people, places, objects, and even moments in time. We want to read your letters to the things that stir your nostalgia. The echoes. The aftershocks. The remembered, and the reimagined. True to the spirit of Frontier, we encourage risk-taking: experiment, innovate, break the rules. Fees Notice: This project charges fees (or requires purchases) for all submissions.
