WELCOME BACK SLAMMERS!
We know that this isn't the back to school that you're used to. But the world still deserves to be blessed by your poetry.
While it may not be as electrifying as performing live, we want you to consider submitting your poetry (and non-fiction, and fiction) to Inscape, BYU's literary magazine. Anyone can submit (not just BYU students).
Here's the link: https://inscape.byu.edu/
