Each of us carries a story shaped by our roots—our families, cultures, languages, and memories. At the same time, we are always in motion, tracing new paths through our choices, journeys, and experiences. These routes may carry us across countries, across identities, or simply into new ways of understanding ourselves.

​

This open submission window invites you to explore the space between these two forces. You might write about living between cultures, navigating multiple languages, or searching for a sense of belonging in a world that is constantly changing. You might reflect on the traditions that ground you, or the moments that compel you to grow beyond them.

​

There is no single way to belong—and no single way to move forward.

​

Selected poems (approximately 40–50 works) will be curated and published in our forthcoming Poetry Anthology. This is not a contest, but an opportunity to contribute your voice to a collective body of work.

​

Through your words, we hope to hear the voices that connect past and future, memory and possibility—your roots, and your routes.
