Hi, MockingHeart Friends! It’s been a while. I hope you’re well, and that you’ve been able to take some time for self-care in this new year.

Just to pass you a note–our Spring/Summer 2021 issue will be open for submissions from April 1-30, 2021, with a planned June 1, 2021 publication date! Take a bit of time to reflect and create–we’d love to see your work this reading period!

Our Spring/Summer 2021 Issue has NO theme. Submit whatever poetry and/or art suits you best! We’ll be excited to see it. And please pass the word along! If you know an artist or writer who’s been considering the brave act of putting their work out into the world, we’d be thrilled to hear from them.

Finally: If you haven’t yet taken a peek at our splendid Winter 2021 issue, please do! Several excellent pieces await you therein. You’ll come away feeling inspired!

Thanks again! Keep up your excellent work in the world, and we’ll see you soon.

Tyler Robert Sheldon, Editor-in-Chief
