MockingHeart friends! Happy December.

Here we are, almost at the end of 2023! Where does the time go? It’s a hard question to answer, but one certainty is that submissions are now open for MHR 9.1, the Winter 2024 issue of MockingHeart Review! You can submit from today until December 31. And here toward the end of the year, togetherness with those we care about can help us make it all the way through.

In that spirit, our Winter 2024 theme is Camaraderie, the trust and friendship we foster with those whose company we keep. When you’re ready, meditate and create around this concept, and then send your poetry and/or artwork our way! We look forward to experiencing it.

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