"You Are My Sunshine" Contest
"You Are My Sunshine" Call for Art and Poetry ends this month.
Share your art and poetry, the sweetness of what lights your life, your love, your passions, your happiness, your art, your everything. That sense of soulfulness, that long time love. Whether it's metaphorical, the flight of a soul, or the migration of your poetic journey; whether it makes us catch our breath or read it again and again, we want to hear from you. The most lifting poems will be published in our 2022 anthology with beautiful artwork.
Flying Ketchup Press ® grassroots and artist-run, we are a trademarked small press in Kansas City using traditional and hybrid publishing formats established to develop new and diverse voices in poetry and short story. Our dream is to salvage lost treasure troves of written and illustrated work-- to create worlds of wonder and delight; to share stories.
Maybe yours.
Make friends with your inner editor. Just a dash.
