Minding My Own Dharma is Looking for Short-Form, Yoga-Inspired Poetry

Photo: Ren Powell

Keeping things simple:

I would love to curate well-crafted Yoga-inspired poems under 20 lines here on Minding My Own Dharma.

I will be publishing one-a-day, keeping an eye out for variety and authenticity*.

I prefer original photographs to accompany the poems.

If I turn down your submission, please don’t take it personally! I wish I had time to respond in detail to everyone with a reminder that my one-a-day approach has (let’s be honest) much more to do with my state of mind at the moment than the quality of anyone’s work.

Previously published is fine — as long as it isn’t previously/currently available on Medium.

Why am I doing this? I have a daily yoga practice and a daily writing practice, and I would like to start the day by reading yoga poems, too.

If you’re interested in submitting work — send me an email at madorphanyogini (at) gmail (dot) com.

Once I’ve added you, you can submit by following Medium’s posting guidelines and choosing “add to publication”.

Not on Medium? No Problem: Send your poem in a word doc.

Feel free to include a bio, link, and/or commentary - max. 250 words.

I will respond ASAP, but it may be 3 or 4 days.

Thank you! I look forward to reading your poems.

Namaste, y’all.

Ren

*I’m drawn to poetry that approaches the conceptual via the empirical.
