MockingHeart friends! Happy December.

It’s that time of year again–though it’s still Fall, here at MHR we’re beginning to anticipate the coming of Winter. Submissions are now open for the Winter 2021 issue of MockingHeart Review! You can submit from today until December 31st.

As you might have seen, our theme for this upcoming issue (MHR 6.1, for the numerically inclined) is Recovery. Give this theme some thought, and when you’re ready, send your poetry and/or artwork our way! We look forward to experiencing it.

And coming soon to the MHR Blog: An interview with poet and MHR Founding Editor Clare L. Martin. Clare and I will be discussing her new manuscript; poetry’s role in our difficult present; and other timely topics. You won’t want to miss it! Keep an eye out for more info.

We hope you’re staying healthy, happy, and inspired. Keep on creating, friends–and as always, thank you for the excellent work you do in the world.
