Call for poetry and art submissions! COOP: chickens of our poetry zine
YWS's own new in-house zine machines (@alliyah and @fortis) are interested in crafting a zine dedicated entirely to the beauty and majesty of chickens.
YWS has long fostered chicken poetry and art and it's time to bring all that talent together into one place. We are proud to announce that we are now accepting poetry and art submissions for the first eddition of COOP: chickens of our poetry until March 10th, 2021.

- All poetry and art should be submitted in black and white
- Content should be E or PG (no swearing or mature content)
