Old Mountain Press  will publish a collection of poetry/short stories by a number of writers. Our goal is to gather enough quality poems and short shorts for an estimated 50 to 90 page book with the theme of  any special place or person or relationships/friendships or summer in general. Would like to have as many poets and prose writers involved as possible. Requirements are below. Authors receive publishing credit and retain all rights to their work but agree to the inclusion of their poem in this collection of poetry.
  • Author must have rights to the poem/micro prose (previously published OK). 
  • Initially, only one poem/flash fiction per writer, so give it your best shot:-)

Cover photo by Ray Clemons of The Clemons Insurance Agency in Hawkinsville, Georgia. Ray snapped this photo early one morning. This very old barn is where his Daddy milked cows every morning when he and his three brothers and his sister, Carol, were growing up on The Clemons’ Farm about three miles southeast of Unadilla, Georgia. Carol says, "I can still see Daddy all bundled up on a cold winter morning heading out the door with his silver milk bucket. He would return with the bucket filled to the brim."
