OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR ISSUE #9:
Our next issue of The Poeming Pigeon will be inspired by the cosmos. From learning how to locate the Little Dipper to standing awe-struck under the Milky Way, humans have been asking: What’s out there in the great beyond? Could we survive on Mars? What is dark matter? Are wormholes the secret to time travel? Our curiosity is as vast as the universe itself.
Send us your best stargazing poems exploring the great beyond, string theory and black holes. Make a case for Pluto–planet or not planet? This theme is yours to take to the outer limits.
We invite poets to submit up to 3 poems during April 15 thru June 15.
The Cosmos issue is scheduled for release in Winter 2019/20. Every contributor receives a free copy of the book. We look forward to reading your poems. Find out more.
