Good night to @visual_verse - thank you for a decade of brilliant prompts, wonderful curation, inspiring images and all your tenderness and care. You’ve been a beacon of light 😍
We are officially done. 100 pieces are now published in our final issue at https://t.co/bYBpZVVKjT. A Murmuration of Words on page 100 felt like a fitting way to go out. Thank you @hazelmason10 and thank you – beautiful writers of the world – for being on this journey with us.

This 10 year project celebrating ekphrasis, the process of writing + building a world writing community is now closed. Glad to end w/a moving piece by frequent VV'er @hazelmason10. It's been a huge part of my life, now archiving it @NCLA_tweets for all. Sharpen your pencils...

Dear writers, if you didn't make it this month please know that we had almost 200 submissions and many new writers to give space to. It was an extremely difficult month - the image was a challenge for you and selection was an even greater challenge for us.

It's hard to put into words our gratitude and admiration for the 3000+ writers who have been published by us over the past 10 years and who have made this publication what it is: original, innovative, feisty, zeitgeisty. It has been a joy to collaborate with you. 🫶🏾🫶🏼🫶🏿
