a fine line’s theme for its Summer 2021 edition is BARREN

What happens in spaces where nothing grows? What thrives in empty or lifeless lands? What ideas does the word “barren” conjure up in relation to your life? In relation to the planet? How might poetry seek to traverse these spaces?

Send us up to four of your best poems in response to this theme, each 40 lines max, by 10 December 2021.
