This is a reaaaalllly good idea!
Laurence Musgrove, Editor of the Texas Poetry Assignment, offers frequent prompts with publication upon acceptance (so really fast turnaround!) and a monthly or bi-monthly zoom reading platform for contributors.
He does all of this as a fund-raiser toward Texas Hunger Relief.
You can see all of the “assignments” otherwise known as prompts here. Submission instructions are there, too. Recent prompts, all themed to Texas, include Mothers, Fathers, Windmills, Cars, Weather, Boots, and more.
Read my Texas Mothers poem here.
Read my Texas Fathers poem here.
Of course, you can always simply make a donation to help with hunger relief and please do so here if you are so inclined, but why not join us in the poetry fun too?
I hope to see you at the next reading!
Namaste,

This sounds so cool. Do you know if Laurence considers reprints?
Hi Stephanie! I think he wants fresh work. His email is the submissions email so you could ask. 👍
