‘The Auroras & Blossoms NaPoWriMo Anthology: 2020 Edition’ Is Available (And More News!)

Hello everyone!

We have two pieces of news to share with you today. We’ll start with the good one.

That’s it, the wait is over! The Auroras & Blossoms NaPoWriMo Anthology: 2020 Edition is out! We want to thank all the poets who helped make this anthology a reality:

Donna Allard, Chandni Asnani, Maria L. Berg, Jamie Brian, Jimena Cerda, Jaewon Chang, Ravichandra Chittampalli, Sandra Christensen, Mimi DiFrancesca, Fiona D’Silva, Kate Duff, Judy Dykstra-Brown, Amanda M. Eifert, Stacie Eirich, Michael Erickson, Deveree Extein, Jack M. Freedman, Alicia Grimshaw, Jenny Hayut, Patrick Jennings, Liam Kennedy, Ting Lam, Rose Loving, Michele Mekel, Ally Nellmapius, William Reynolds, Madhumita Sarangi, Anna Schoenbach, Julie A. Sellers, Jonathan Shipley, Dorian J. Sinnott, Krupali Trivedi, Angela van Son, Michele Vecchitto, Penny Wilkes, and Gemma Wiseman.

As editors, we are blown away by your talent. Your commitment to bringing positivity to the forefront (despite very trying times) is exactly what Auroras & Blossoms stands for!

Now onto the bad news. We have made the difficult decision to cancel the PoArtMo 2020 Contest. The reason is simple: After three weeks, the number of entries that did not fit the criteria of the contest had far outweighed the number of qualifying entries, hence creating a lot of extra work for us.

With that said, we are happy to report that our call for submissions to the PoArtMo 2020 Anthology has received more positive attention. As a result, we are extending the deadline for the PoArtMo 2020 Anthology to August 23, 2020! So, please continue submitting to us!

NB: The PoArtMo Anthology is open to all types of artists, not just poets.

Stay inspired, friends!

Announcement: Celebrate NaPoWriMo 2020 with Us!

Hello everyone!

Did you miss our show last night? If so, you also missed our major news!

That’s ok, we have you covered.

So, here it is.

This year, we are celebrating NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) in style. And we want you to do so as well!

From today until May 15th 2020, we will be accepting submissions of positive / uplifting / inspirational poems written during NaPoWriMo 2020 for a special digital NaPoWriMo 2020 anthology!

We would like to gather 50 poems together for the anthology.

How Does Everything Work?

We have set up a dedicated page for NaPoWriMo on our website. All the information you need is there.

For those who have already submitted poetry to us in the past, these guidelines will look familiar. They are very similar to our general guidelines for submitting to our poetry journal.

For poets interested in sending us their work for potential feature in our special digital NaPoWriMo 2020 anthology, we ask that you read our NaPoWriMo guidelines carefully. You can also purchase a copy of one of our issues of our poetry journal to get a better idea of the type of poetry we tend to feature.

(Speaking of which, do you know that you can win a digital copy of our upcoming Issue 3 of our poetry journal? For more info, click here.)

What If We Don’t Receive Enough Poems?

Nothing is lost, friends! If we don’t reach 50 poems, selected pieces will find a home in our future upcoming issues of our poetry journal.

We Are Participating in NaPoWriMo Individually Too!

As you may know, we (David and Cendrine) are also poets. So we will be busy writing as much poetry as we can during NaPoWriMo. Actually, we will share our daily blog posts on all of Auroras & Blossoms social media channels (Facebook and Twitter). We hope that it will encourage you to get writing!

We look forward to reading your poems and featuring them in our anthology!

Happy reading and writing, stay inspired everyone!

David & Cendrine
