Submission Deadline
Summer Muses' Gallery - Shoes
Monday, May 17, 2021
Highland Park Poetry invites submissions of poetry, photography and artwork on the subject of Shoes for our Summer Muses' Gallery. Shoes are a fundamental part of every step we take in life. Shoes protect our feet or chafe and produce blisters. Shoes give us confidence in our step or perhaps not. Shoes represent wealth, status, caste, class. Shoes are cultural icons and feature in classic fairy tales.
Email submissions to jennifer@highlandparkpoetry.org. Poems should not exceed 30 lines (and shorter are preferred); previously published okay with acknowledgment. Poets may submit up to 5 poems - please combine all submissions into a single document or send as text in the body of an email. Artists and photographers may submit up to 10 .jpg files.

Due to the coronavirus crisis, Highland Park Poetry cancelled all its scheduled live, in-person poetry events and began posting daily poems on Facebook.
We have continued this practice and welcome poem submissions. Send your poem as a .doc attachment or as text in the body of your email addressed to jennifer@highlandparkpoetry.org. Poets are asked to share poems about the coronavirus, sheltering-in-place, or poems about endurance or poems that inspire calm. Here are the poems from March 2021.
Previous months are available for review as archive downloads at the bottom of the Muses' Gallery.
Please also enjoy our Muses' Gallery. Join us on Facebook.
Continue to celebrate poetry and stay healthy!
