NEW SOME WORDS

i tend to not publish a lot of longer short stories, so the fact that today marks the second long one from @J0000005H to grace the forum means you know it's a good one

Still have two spots open for this. Send me your genre-est things. I’m talking cyberpunk. Arthurian legends. Romantasy. Westerns. Space operas. Shit you wrote that’s so out there that there is no way to classify it.

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

been saving these up to read all at once, which i'm gonna do in the next day or two, so might be a good idea to send your genre week stuff in now

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

someone needs to publish the @bobbyswebsite sign language book

[HAD @havehadhavehad]

amazing new one today from @bobbyswebsite!

"...then move that hand
out and up
away from your heart
and as you move
this hand out and up
spread your fingers apart
like you are throwing
what you grabbed
from your heart
straight up to the heavens."

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

these are starting to trickle in & some of them are really good but they also read like things that would come across the wire & I’d say yes to anyway so i’m adding to this:

send me things that go full genre — yr cyberpunk, yr medieval swordfights, yr hard scifi, yr romantasy

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

to make this about the journal, this is proof that I mean it when I say to send sports work

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

one of the few times I’m going to share something about my own work from this account

[Justin Carter @juscarts]

A random Sunday night seems like a good time to say this.

I have a new book coming out later this year. It’s called Laterals. Every poem is about sports. Here’s the cover. If you’d like to review it, shoot me a DM.

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

[Zachary Lorico Hertz @zacharylhertz]

Big if true! Get ready threadheads

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

schedule time

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

or fiction or nonfiction or experimental reaction posts that take advantage of the forum form

whatever really

[Some Words @SomeWordsLit]

not adding this to the official submission guidelines but if you ever wrote a timely/current events poem that would ideally need a quick turnaround between submission/response/publication, you can send it to me & write THIS IS A CURRENT EVENT POEM in the subject line
