July 4th we debut our 7 day MY America series. This is a series of poems by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized voices. we are publishing raw, visceral, unedited, and challenging content. this is not a safe space. where do we fit in America? is this the America we were promised? what SHOULD America be? this space is dedicated to everyone who deserves a space. we are publishing for a week: July 4th – July 10th.
