Solum Monthly Feature
Thank you all who submitted to August’s Solum Monthly Feature. We hope this rhythmic showcase provides you with an opportunity to revel in the craft of our community, and spurs you on to make and submit yourself. Each month there will be a new opportunity to participate in this collective endeavor of beauty & excellence.
August—Timothy E.G. Bartel
This month, we are featuring a well-loved piece entitled “Too Late or Not Too Late” from one of Solum’s first publications, A Crown for Abba Moses by Timothy E.G. Bartel.
Submit to the Next Solum Monthly Feature!
Solum is always accepting submissions for our future Solum Monthly Feature posts, such as the one you’re reading here. Each month there will be a new opportunity for one of your poems, short stories, essays, homilies, or visual art to be featured. Your piece will be followed by an artist statement, and if applicable, your Substack page will be invited to collaborate on the post.
The submission guidelines follow the same parameters as listed on our website here.
To be considered, please email emma.winchell@solumpress.com with your selected pieces, and include Solum Monthly Feature [Month] as the title of the email. We look forward to sharing your craft with our community!
Thank you for sharing this poem and your offer to submit. I enjoyed how the poem enjoyed nostalgia coupled with excitement for what lays ahead.
