POETRY ANTHOLOGY BOOK SUBMISSION

NOW ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS

There are truths we don’t soften.

Stories we don’t clean up.

Emotions that refuse to be filtered.

Bare is a space for honest, unfiltered expression.

We are inviting poets to submit work that explores:

• Intimacy and desire

• Trauma and healing

• Identity and self-discovery

• The complexities of adult life

This is not about shock value.

This is about truth.

We are looking for writing that is intentional, grounded, and real—work that says something, not just anything.
