Black and Indigenous women poets, DM me links to your work. I’m on a poetry selection committee and I want to lift you!

Esp. Queer and disabled Black and Indigenous women. Esp. esp. trans Black and Indigenous women.

I don’t care about your resume or publication history or where you are in the world. I just want to read your words.

This is also like a year out, so don’t wait for a contact. I’ll just be adding your name/info to a proposed reading list.
