Poets selected for this series present a wide range of voices, and we are super excited to add new work to the chorus. If you identify as a BIPOC woman, please send your chapbooks. Previous authors in this series are Paloma Martínez-Cruz, Asani Charles, Sheila Carter-Jones, and Fia Montero. Full guidelines may be found here.
