Poetry of Love & Want

Talismans of Passion is a new open collection of poetry about love and want. This new collection is open to submissions. We also welcome artists to illustrate the poems offered.

The poems are about love and loss, longing and aspiration, desire and striving, journeys and endings, all the things that give life passion. Poetic submissions may take the form of love letters or free form narrative, as well. The entries are organized into three categories: the "Locks" that keep us from passion; the "Keys" that free us into passion; and the "Journeys" we take within passion's embrace.

Please send all submissions to tobin@artsforge.com as emails. No attachments please, unless your submission includes a .jpg image as an illustration.

Also see the Art-to-Poetry Project for other ArtsForge Poetry Collaborative Projects.

J. Carrington Scott:
In the end there was no heraldry
If passions could cancel worry
I loved you Before
The child's been avenged
When she fancies her skirt
Sometimes you matter more
This cannot be.
