Don’t miss these new poems by @benjaminstarr 🎃
"Now I can move things with nothing more than a strongly held belief. Small things. A sparrow fibula. The blades on a baseball-sized patch of Kentucky bluegrass." For our next Halloween treat, the one and only @benjaminstarr returns to The Bulb Region with three prose poems.

Wondering what to submit? This week we’re especially into: grasshoppers, marsh, buttons, cleaning out houses, the apothecary diaries, mundanity, sushi, video games, mythical creatures, sonnets, deliveries, cnf, natural disaster, and nails.

Sweet, clever flash piece up this week. Open "Intruder" from @jordyndamatoo and make sure you sit far enough away that whoever's haunting your house can catch a glimpse at this fire writing too. Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/10-20…
