Your support gives me daily inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.
Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words and the images of my late partner, Brian Saltern. I am accompanied by a cohort of fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 90 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks. This enables Tupelo Press to keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.
Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the Tupelo Press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
