Have a Poetic (and Cool!) Summer
By SWWIM Team
Dear Readers,
SWWIM Every Day will be on its annual hiatus August 31, when we return with a poem every weekday. But while our Substack will be idle for eight weeks—aside from our last “Where We SWWIM” post, coming at you at 5 pm tonight—we won’t be. During our publishing break, we read submissions (which are open year-round), review residency applications via Submittable (see more below), and plan special activations and readings.
Please hold off on sending any notice of your accomplishments for our Weekly Spotlight, which will also be on hiatus. We’ll start taking your news again on August 15 via this form.
Meanwhile, stay safe, be well, and keep cool!
With love,
SWWIM Team
Residency applications are live from June 1-August 1! If you want to attend a SWWIM residency, please check out the FAQs and submit via Submittable. We’d love to review your work!
Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and Bluesky for more updates—and visit our website to see past, present, and future readings & events.
**We do our best to preserve the integrity of each poem; however, due to programming limitations, some poems may read differently on a mobile phone and in certain browsers. For best viewing, use Chrome on a desktop/laptop.
