Dearest SWWIMmers,
Thank you all for a wonderful year. We’re so grateful for you—as well as our fabulous staff of editors, staff readers, social media managers, and interns. Without you, there wouldn’t be a reason to SWWIM.
We are taking a short hiatus from December 23-January 3. We'll be back to greet you with more wonderful poems starting January 6.


We are thinking about all of you as we head into 2025, and hope that it brings you sweetness, joy, and—of course—more poetry.
Cheers,
The Editors of SWWIM
Catherine, Jen, Caridad, Alex, Mary, and Mia
