What inspired you to write this Chapbook/Book? What else should we know about it? Or just add the Blurb.
2020 was a challenging year, it was the year of work and sweat mingled in tears. Our thoughts and prayers go out to every family that lost a loved one.
While the year was wiping it’s feet about to leave, STRIPES Magazine put out a call for FRUITS.
Her Issue 1: Volume II. A call to create simthing soothing, edible and fresh: Fruits.
What was your journey to publication like?
(Editor: Abasiama Udom writing)
Tiring but inspiring. As editor for Stripes Magazine I got to meet different writers and editors. I could now see that the process to curating a magazine was not easy at all. Having to choose and reject pieces, revert to your team and more, but it produced a beautiful collection so it was worth it.
Any upcoming Chapbook/Book releases? Upcoming poems in magazines?
No upcoming release yet. We are looking at opening during April (April 10) for readings again. For now we enjoy fruits.
