this is a highly unfortunate thing to announce but i have to do it. yell/shout/scream has reached a point of stagnancy, the kind that has barely wavered.

so now i have to announce that yell/shout/scream is shutting down. it's doubtful that it'll be back (cont)

[yell/shout/scream @shoutforus]

i don't own the work of anyone who has had work published in yell/shout/scream! so that being said, please feel free to have the work published elsewhere!

[yell/shout/scream @shoutforus]

thanks to everyone who contributed to the journal!

thanks to everyone who believed/supported what yell/shout/scream stood/stands for!

thanks to @AfieyaK for her help + support.

i likely bring yell/shout/scream back & i'm sorry for that.

& if it does re open i will say so on here for sure.

the site will continue to stay up, issue 1 won't be deleted off issuu, i won't deactivate this twitter but i won't be on that much. sorry if this is disappointing news, i didn't want it to come to this.

[yell/shout/scream @shoutforus]

@briyanaclarel unfortunately not

[yell/shout/scream @shoutforus]

in order for yell/shout/scream to continue on it needs new content! please get those submissions in!

[yell/shout/scream @shoutforus]

i don't want to put this type of pressure on folk but i need to be blunt. yell/shout/scream can't go on without submissions. i may end up shutting down the journal & let the site exist for an archive. so please submit & support the journal.

bent on sending me to a heaven i don’t want,

stop trying to give me things i don’t want or need"

restless and whiplashed we drive
down lake shore chasing
our destination like a dog
chases its tail"

my skin sagging with time like the bloodied
