Scissortail Quarterly #7 IS COMING. I promise. It' Scissortail Quarterly #7 IS COMING. I promise. It's been a busy Spring, so it will be a little bit delayed, but not by too much. If you still want to submit work, feel free to do that right now. Visit the website, via @scissortail.press or email to the address if you already have it. I'll keep submissions through the end of the month this time, so we'll be looking at the first week of June for the publish date. As always, authors get copies of the book. If you've been included before, I'm more than happy to include you again. I love having this quarterly as a space for the pieces that never seem to fit anywhere else. It makes for some of the best collections in my opinion!Thank you everyone who has submitted before! I appreciate all of you. This is a pet project I do because I love poetry so much. I look forward to continuing work on this, and if anyone has any feedback or suggestions, I am open to that as well.Happy May, y'all!#poetrycommunity #poetryjournal #poetrymagazine #poetrysubmissionscall #poetrysubmissions @scissortailquarterly @scissortail.press @robertcozziauthor @excerptsdearmonia
