Poetry Submission Guidelines
All poetry submissions must be 300–500 words. Please select one of the following prompts:

Wings We Carry – Write about the wings you carry. What are they made of—late nights, family hopes, fear, pride? How do they lift you even when they feel heavy?

The First Flight – Describe your first day stepping into a space no one in your family has entered before. What did the ground look like when you finally took off?

Between Two Skies – Write about living between home and campus, culture and expectation. How do you learn to fly without leaving parts of yourself behind?
