Send in your poetry, short prose, and artwork for consideration for Tidings 2025. Deadline to submit is Sunday, November 16th, 2025.

As we move into the astrologically dark half of the year, in a year that has been filled with hateful, manufactured darkness, we come to realize that art is more than just words or colors. It is warmth, it is connection, it is a tiny but fiercely bright candle burning through the night. We welcome your poems, your songs, and your brilliant canvases. We’d love to read your fondest memories, deeply honored traditions, those things that make the long winter seem less harsh, even if just for a few hours.

We accept up to two pieces (you may mix mediums if you’re the multi-talented type): poems, short prose (800 words or less), photographs, and artwork. For text, please submit as a PDF or Word doc. For images please send as high-resolution JPG or PNG files.

Submissions must be sent via email to sarah@domesticatedprimate.com. Please include a brief bio about yourself (100 words or less) in the body of your email.

Please be sure to send your work before our submission window closes on Sunday, November 16th, 2025.

Tidings will be released digitally and in paperback format on Thursday, December 11, 2025. Stay tuned for updates on our annual release party celebration.
