We pride ourselves in publication of both emerging and established artists and writers. We co-produced the first ever China/US poetry film festival last year. We are pandemic.

    What type of submissions are you looking for?

    Bright. Not too genre-specific. Crossovers are welcome, however. We want bright, vibrant and modern writing with a bare foot planted firmly in tradition.

    We will be working on the second Shanghai Tunnels Project, a China/US poetry film festival this year. Last year’s was a huge success.
