TRENDY TREATS
I never thought I would be discussing the relevancy of food. However, in today’s world, it is all about trending. A year ago, fish tacos were a hot trend along with edamame. But today, they are back to being irrelevant and anonymous. This call for both art AND poetry is taking advantage of the political relevancy of recent events in Pakistan. Do YOU have something to say? Say it with art.
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…
