I'm having trouble talking myself into the feeling this whole thing ain't broken... but I have a new poem called "Hickory Hill," published in Oyster River Pages' glorious annual issue, and I'd be thrilled if you read it (or listened to me read it) www.oysterriverpages.com/edie-meade

"Hickory Hill," Poetry by Edie Meade — Oyster River Pages

“Hickory Hill” by Edie Meade is a haunting, visceral prose poem that confronts a devastating tragedy while questioning poetry’s ability to hold, witness, or make meaning from it.

Internet went out yesterday morning (we think our neighbor’s lawn service cut into our fiber). Not having constant access to the Internet feels so…freeing? I’d forgotten how quiet life can feel. ♥️

Thought I’d share that Short Reads is looking for flash cnf submissions. They PAY writers ($100 for original pieces, $25 for reprints). I had a super nice experience publishing with them, and thought I’d pass this on!! #writesky #creativenonfiction #shortreads @short-reads.

Say—here are about 78 literary journals opening for submissions in October. Some are open now or will close soon in September or October. Genres, themes, & guidelines vary—dates are tentative. These should be no-fee. There are more resources out there, too. Wish y’all well, friends.

I once had an academic paper rejected because the author didn’t like that my title was “serious.” The reviewer went on to offer *pages* of alternatives and never actually critiqued my argument. I waited 8 months for that feedback. 😓
