Mark Simpson farms a few acres on Whidbey Island, Washington, raising what the climate and land allow. He has a Ph.D. but has never used it for the thing a Ph.D. is typically used for, although he feels it has informed his life in a way he can't quite put his finger on. Recent work has appeared in Sleet (Pushcart Prize nominee), Broad River Review (Rash Award Finalist), Backchannels Review, Third Wednesday, Tusculum Review, Flyway, and Cold Mountain Review. He is the author of "The Quieting" (2023, Pine Row Press) and the chapbook "Fat Chance" (2013, Finishing Line 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 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.

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!
