About

In response to the U.S. Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade, FlowerSong Press welcomes response poems to SCOTUS's attack on a person’s right to their own bodies. This court decision affects us all, and it would be in deep reverence to the women who came before us and all others who will come after us to engage in this crucial conversation & moment of action. We invite your submission of unpublished poetry and prose for this forthcoming collection. We invite you to share your thoughts, your pain, your anger, your stories, your frustrations.

Voluntary Fees: This project accepts voluntary fees for "tip jar" submissions.
