New Poem/Ephemeral Elegies Update!

I have another new poem to share, “The Butterfly” published on Ephemeral Elegies. For those that don’t know – Ephemeral Elegies is a passion project of mine. It’s a poetry-centric literary journal that began in 2020. After five years, I took a year break to sort of re-center and rediscover my passion for poetry. But now it’s back and we’re publishing two poems weekly. Submissions are open and if you’re a poet, feel free to check out the guidelines HERE! We publish new and emerging poets from all over the world, and it’s been such an honor and privilege to encounter so many amazing artists and offer a small platform in the vibrant poetry community.
