1. I know we have been a little quiet over here. Still operating as a one-woman show. To be transparent without giving too much detail, I have a lot of personal limitations that I need support for and don’t have support for. This support is costly and time-consuming.

1. My goal with Cease and Caesura is to hand it down to capable writers and artists. Cease and Caesura publishes work pushing boundaries mainstream work tries to edit out. Please share if you know anyone interested in joining an experimental creative arts journal they will build and own part of.

In other news, Cease and Caesura will be looking to expand our team. A more official post will come out about it in a week or so. In the meantime, if you know anyone who is interested in joining a lit journal that focuses on experimental writing that bridges genres, please spread the word.

A lot of top journals mostly publish positive narratives on motherhood. I am inspired to open up submissions for poems, flash fiction pieces, and hybrid work on the theme of the mother wound.
I also want to have a monthly showcase for single dog moms and cat moms on my Substack.

Cease and Caesura Lit will be back in a bit with some more poetry and literary discussion. After that, we have one more poem to feature. Originally, I was going to start a revision series, but I will be starting a book review series, which also means I will be asking for people's book suggestions.

Our plan after that is to take a break from features and to focus on our revision series.
