Welcome, friend. Below you will find every piece BRD has published so far in chronological order.
We will be announcing the winners of the Summer 2020 Poetry Contest soon. We are still reading through submissions but will let you know when we have made final decisions. We will be taking a hiatus after August & will respond to submissions we have received through August 20. Any accepted pieces will be published, & after that, we will communicate when we are ready to begin accepting submissions again.
Thank you to everyone for their support!
