About

From the vicious, to the clinical, to the confessional, The Anatomy of Desire calls for poems that cut from where the ache is still tender, and rend longing wide open. Pulling knives from the body to call them holy, crushing berries in fists like deliverance — we’re looking for words that ask hunger what it’s made of; works that spit blood on the floor every time they try to speak.
