Author Statement: I had the great fortune of being a magical unicorn in the poetry world and had a two-book deal once upon a time. The problem is that even if you're an established writer, sometimes you get stuck, and you need a boost. I feel like writing challenges do that for me. I'm looking forward to writing a poem a day for Tupelo Press!
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 other 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, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.
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!
