We are no longer accepting submissions for this particualr issue. Currently it is out on newsstands, so buy an issue for yourself and a friend. Thanks to everyone who sent us work.

At this time of great instability and aggression in many parts of the world it is our hope to produce an issue that looks at what language, specifically poetry, can do to facilitate any movement toward peace. With the theme Writing toward Peace we hope to create an opportunity for poets to look at what peace means to us as individuals, families, tribes, nations, and as a global community. It is our hope that the submissions reflect our common work toward a global culture of inclusion, respect, and openness. It is such a small planet. It desperately needs to hear itself speaking of peace.
