April showers have been coming down, and we are eager for the May flowers. We also hope you’ve been spending your National Poetry Month writing some pieces you can send us, either for the upcoming Woody Barlow Poetry Contest or looking ahead to general submissions in the fall.

In the mean time we have all the links and info you might need— the winners of the Nikki Hanna Literary Challenge, the most recent online issue AND the print issue, where you’ll be able to see us in person, and more. It’s a great time to be in the literary community!
