My poems can make a difference!

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.

My past participation in Tupelo Press' 30/30 Project has been a transformational experience for me, resulting in multiple publications in literary magazines/journals and the publication of five new books of poetry. The prospect of participating, again, this year thrills me and promises to open doors to some new and exciting work, as well as parts of my creative self that have still yet to be explored.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Join me on my creative journey and help me to help this distinguished press.
