Will all the chronically ill poets say hello and be my friend so I don’t have to feel so fucking low about being a chronically ill poet? Thanks in advance :-D

Has anyone noticed current themed calls for poetry on illness or disability?

Today’s the day! Submissions are now open for Sunder issue 1 - GATHER. Remember, we accept poetry in whatever form you make it — want to scan and send an empty chip packet with some words on it? We can’t wait to see it. More info here: sunderjournal.com/submit

Can anyone think of a paragraph or so from someone with an illness about why they write about their experience of illness? Drawing a blank! 🫠

Y’all know of any poetry venues still offering VIRTUAL events? (open mics, slams, workshops, co-writing spaces, etc.)

We're looking for facilitators for our 2023 Writers Salons. Are you a deaf or disabled writer with a book coming out this year? If so we want to hear from you! DM us or contact [email protected] for more info.

This flopped on my personal, so I’ll ask here. I want to submit my gastroparesis themed chapbook to a contest, but want another set of eyes on it first. It’s about 25pgs. Would be willing to read/offer critiques on your work in exchange! #WritingCommunity #AmWritingCNF

So excited to be co-running an @arvonfoundation course for D/deaf and/or disabled poets with @mailbykite - registration is open and course runs March 8th - April 5th 2023 arvon.org/writing-course…

I wish more poetry books were accessible in ebook. I asked to pay for an ecopy of a disability poetry book this year from the publisher, and the publisher was like 🥰no🥰. Some indie publishers don't make room for accessibility. Big ones do because they want my disabled dollars.
