Dearest Readers,
It’s that time again—when we take our annual summer hiatus to rest, recharge, and read SWWIM + The Betsy residency applications (apply by 8/1 via Submittable). We’ll be pausing our poems-of-the-day and our Weekly Spotlights for July and August, but we’ll still be open for submissions. Our response times might be a little slower as we spend some necessary time with our families and travel, but rest assured, we’ll get back to you.
Please take care of yourselves. And while we’re off, if you need a SWWIM fix, please feel free to peruse our archives of more than 1,500 poems!
See you in September!
With love,
SWWIM Team Editors
Jen, Catherine, Caridad, Alexandra, Mary, & Mia
RECAP:
Applications for the SWWIM + The Betsy residency are now open until 8/1. Apply on Submittable!
PLEASE HOLD! SWWIMmers with literary news to share (publication/feature/award/book/book review), we kindly ask that you wait to resume sending us timely announcements. We’ll be taking a break from our Weekly Spotlights during July and August but will start them up once again in September. Starting in mid-August, please email swwimmiami@gmail.com with a link to your news. (No DMs on any social media platforms, please.)
Meanwhile, check out our archives for previous poems of the day.
