What We Are Seeking for This Anthology
We are particularly interested in very short poems (aka. micro-poems), 10 lines or less, that transcend ordinary language through sound/symbol/image/metaphor/simile. Like the sustenance of nutmeat within a nutshell, we seek micro poems that hold or contain compressed poetic language as sustenance.
Please note: We are not considering haiku for this anthology.
