THEME
Our theme is DISORDERS. These disorders can be for example alcohol/substance abuse, anxiety, bipolar, depression, eating disorders, OCD, PTSD,
schizophrenia, disociative disorders, sexual disorders, sleep disorders and on and on. We are looking for poetry and
flash fiction that touches on this theme in any way and comments on the human condition. The writer can interpret the theme very broadly
and come at it from whatever direction he or she wishes.

being more widely distributed among all the authors who appear in the anthology.
