Beav Broadsides

Hi Beaver Family!

I hope you’re all having a fantabulous start to your September and are getting ready for a funky fresh fall.

First and foremost, thank you all (readers, contributors, my co-editors) for bringing this dream to life. Our inaugural issue launch couldn’t have gone better… and we have a little surprise for you!

Here’s three different poems from our first issue as downloadable, printable, postable broadside collages with lovely contributor poems for your pleasure. Please send pictures of this poetry in the wild!

Take care and keep writing, we can’t wait to see more of your submissions soon.

Best,

Ellery Beck

I cannot express how grateful I am for every single submission and all of the time that our contributors and our editors have put into getting the perfect work weaved together for your enjoyment. I hope to see more of your work before this issue closes and in the future!

We’d love to receive more art submissions that stay from the standard. Music, multimedia art, videos, visuals; we’re into it all. We adore your poetry and short prose but would love to branch further into experimental hybrid art as well.

Hopefully you enjoyed this little clip and are getting excited for the issue launch and blog roll-out next month. Much much love from The Beaver Team, always!
