MockingHeart friends! Happy August.

How is it already getting on toward Fall?? The year is ticking right along. Summer heat drifts down, here in Louisiana, with the rhythmic, inevitable cadence of our many active cicadas, and with that rhythm comes opportunity–as submissions are now open for MHR 9.3, the Fall 2024 issue of MockingHeart Review! You can submit from today until August 31. We can’t wait to witness the creations you send our way!

Our Fall 2024 theme is Deception–however you choose to interpret this idea. When you’re ready, meditate and create around whatever idea springs to mind, 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, dear friends–and as always, thank you for the excellent work you do in the world.
