“It’s the Song Not the Singer” – Publisher’s Intro to the Spirit Behind Dead Flowers
Bohemian Pupil Press’ Poetry Rag takes its name from the Rolling Stones’ song on the 1971 album Sticky Fingers. This song is emblamatic of a quintessential irreverance: it portrays a most elegant “Fuck You.” Please, do not interpret this as meaning that Dead Flowers is a platform for sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll. Dead Flowers is an extension of Bohemian Pupil Press’ tagline and motive: “Publishing for the Clear-Sighted Imbiber.”
Dead Flowers accepts submissions of poetry that spirits the “quintessential irreverance” described above. It is strongly encouraged that poetry by Lone Wolf poets – Non-MFA, Non-Worksop poets – be submitted for consideration. BUT, of course, Dead Flowers is open to all who practice the craft (but please, no Slam).
