We accept submissions of poetry and visual art, as well as poetry-related articles, book reviews, and interviews. As our name describes, we are looking for poetry/work of today, for blood on autumn leaves, for sighs left behind on old elevators, thoughts on aluminum words, hairs in fists, heretic forms, traditional bricks, delicate skipping stones, prophesies to blackness, maroon dawns, socks in 18th century closets, tensions, minuteness, white simplicities, a matchbox of igniting wildflowers….
