Today, I decided it was finally time to submit some poems to magazines again. First, I went through recent poems I had written; as always, I had the sense that I had written almost none, but then there turned out to be seven. Then I began putting submissions together, one after the other. For each magazine, I put one new poem together with a few older ones, and whenI had sent out all the new poems that way, I just kept going, and by the time I was done, I had sent 67 poems in all to 16 magazines. I would have sent out more, but it was time for supper. (Andrew Shields, #111Words, 18 June 2026)
