QUEEN OF THE WORLD
I want to do everything. I don’t sleep much because I cannot turn my brain off. I am constantly thinking of the souflee I’ve never made, the exotic vacation I haven’t taken and the art I haven’t produced. It isn’t a sad sort of sleepless anxiety. It is an I-Want-to-Take-on-the-World-and-I-am-Running-Out-of-Time anxiety. This next Call is a chance for you to mark a few “to do” items off your artistic bucket list.
Check out this Call for Art (among other things) from Vallum Magazine! Here’s a chance for you to shine on the pages of a great poetry magazine. And, if you’re a wordsmith, well, there’s that too…
