Hello — it’s been a while.
Although this newsletter grew dormant during the depths of winter, Nurture has continued to feature short prose and poetry that explores the complexities of care.
Amid the renewal of spring, the return of in-person events, the recent inspiration of National Poetry Month, and the ongoing chaos on Twitter, it seems like a good time to pop into your inbox with an invitation to read and share the journal’s latest publications.
Links to recent prose pieces and poems are below. For now, Nurture is still on Twitter, as well as Instagram, and submissions remain open on a rolling basis.
Another bit of good news: two pieces published in 2021 — Beth Kephart’s On the One Side. On the Other. and Molly Davidson’s By Hand — were finalists for Best of the Net.
Thanks for reading,
