Writing for Tupelo this month is rad for both of us. I get the commitment, the discipline, the routine; they get a chance to fund their small press, and we all know what the current landscape looks like for small presses. The point is I write poems and those of you with the means, donate. Now I know my friends and family, and we aren't rich folks, but a few of you got $20 to throw around and you should consider throwing it at this. All the love, Adele.
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.
