Whiptail 1+ Years Anniversary Contributors' Reading

We wish to thank everyone who came out on a Saturday (from all around the world!) to celebrate with us and read these special poems. We enjoyed hearing this beautiful river of one-line poetry and afterward, discussing with the group some of our ideas and philosophies about the journal, as well as single-line poems, in general. We hope you enjoy the video!
