Mar. 27, 2023 ~ Apr. 30, 2023

Directions

As we look at the world around us and the experiences we face each day, let’s share them with the world. Chapbook Volume VIII will focus on the theme “human experience.”  It can be a short story or a poem. You decide what it means to you.

Is it:

• Betrayal,

• courage,

• an unexpected surprise,

• finding love,

• lasting memories,

• thoughts of family,

• Eco-Disaster we see in the media each day,

• culture and how it affects you,

• religion?

No matter what it may be, submit your piece and let us see what the human experience means to you.
