GLISH: Variety English Poetry Project A project of The Pinch (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (November 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. About A language variety (or lect) is a derivation of a parent language that can include localized languages, dialects, creoles, pidgins, and other emergent branches. English is perhaps the world's first true Lingua Franca, and its imperial history/current versatility has led to varieties all over the world. The Pinch wants to recognize and publicize poetic forms that challenge and celebrate the place of contemporary English language poetry. We want your poetry. We want your English too. No Fees!
