"INTENTION OF LOVE" - NEW digital poetry anthology— a shared offering rooted in presence, connection, community, and love. 

The foreword is written by James Crews, whose words help open the doorway into this collection.

We’re inviting submissions that include:

• One poem (preferably one page), and / or
• A short reflection (1–4 sentences), and / or
• A brief writing invitation or prompt (1–2 sentences)

You are welcome to submit one, two, or all three — whatever feels right.

Please also let me know how you would like me to credit the poem, permission of use, if its been published before (and where) and your web address if you would like that published as well.

We invite you to consider the title INTENTION OF LOVE as you prepare your submission, allowing it to land in its own way and inform what you choose to share. 

As with most anthologies, we may not be able to include every submission, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and trust in the curating process.

There is no submission fee for submitting, and this anthology is offered as a shared creative contribution and does not include financial compensation.

At launch, INTENTION OF LOVE will be offered freely in digital form, with the possibility of changes as it continues to move out into the world.

You can SUBMIT YOUR POEM BELOW - OR -  email your submission to (zenjenbrown@icloud.com) with the word SUBMISSION in the subject line.

I’m so happy to be sharing this with you — and I’m grateful for your submission — Thank you 🙏

Please let me know if you have any questions!

In Peace, Love & Community, 

ZenJen Brown xoxo 💕🕊️
