Tremendous thanks to the editors at Does It Have Pockets for publishing three of my poems in their September issue: “Breast-giver,” “Preparation,” and “Quentin Tarantino Loves the Grateful Dead.” These three poems are wildly different from each other and I’d say quirky at the very least. You can read more about the work they publish below.

Does It Have Pockets is an online literary magazine with an emphasis on the uncatagorizable. Scifi poetry? Memoir as instruction manual? Fiction as recipe? If you’ve ever been told, “I love this, but I don’t know where to put it,” try sending in your work. They do charge a small submission fee, but have offered free submission months in the past, and they are a paying market! Follow them on social media (Facebook Twitter Instagram) to make sure not to miss those opportunities. They are also currently running a flash fiction contest with a reasonable entry fee based on the prizes. Per their About page, “A note on our name: A question became a metaphor for what we carry into our lives and stories. Around here, pockets aren’t sewn shut for a good silhouette. We welcome your pockets: large, small, messy, empty, and frayed.”
