Poetry makes a difference!

Hello family, friends and fellow poetry lovers!

My name is Navila Nahid.

I am a writer and published poet, currently residing in Brooklyn, NY.

To support Tupelo Press and poetry in general, I will be writing a poem every day for the month of May. My hope is to craft each piece with imagination, whispers from my muse and the inspiration of countless poets who came before me.

Please join me on this journey and donate to this wonderful press. Your donations give us creatives much needed connection and capital to send our words out into the world. As such, your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words, 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 200 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

And if interested, you can find my published works in Sky Island Journal, High Shelf Press, Olney Magazine, The Dream Gods anthology, the Aurora Vol. III anthology from Allegory Ridge, the Hebe to Hades anthology from Free Verse Revolution.

I also have a social media presence on Instagram as @seasalt.rose

And so, every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!

Thank you!
