It’s June, and so we’re throwing open the window for manuscripts by poets with a Pennsylvania connection. Seven Kitchens Press was launched back in 2007 with our Keystone Chapbook Series, and we’ve published 28 chapbooks in the series, with #29 in production. Will your manuscript be next? Check our complete guidelines and send us your best work!
