Since moving to a weekly format last year, Wild Violet has completely burned through our backlog. In addition, submissions slowed down over the holiday season, so we are moving temporarily to a biweekly format.
Please get the word out to any appropriate forums, letting them know that we are actively seeking poetry, fiction, artwork, photography, humor, flash fiction, and more. For full details, visit our submissions page. We hope to be back to a weekly format by spring!
About Alyce Wilson
Alyce Wilson is the editor of Wild Violet and in her copious spare time writes humor, non-fiction, fiction and poetry and infrequently keeps an online journal. Her first chapbook, Picturebook of the Martyrs; her e-book/pamphlet, Stay Out of the Bin! An Editor's Tips on Getting Published in Lit Mags ; her book of essays and columns, The Art of Life; her humorous nonfiction ebook, Dedicated Idiocy: How Monty Python Fandom Changed My Life, and her newest poetry collection, Owning the Ghosts, can all be ordered from her Web site, AlyceWilson.com. In late 2019, she published a volume of poetry by her third great-grandfather, Reading's Physician Poet: Poems by Dr. James Meredith Mathews, which also contains genealogical information about the Mathews family. She lives with her husband and son in the Philadelphia area and takes far too many photos of her handsome, creative son, nicknamed Kung Fu Panda.

Memories–
temporary imprints of ourselves–
lost and found in the sand.
Whirling seagulls,
squealing children,
doped in the moment
by the calm of your hand.
At the water,
the waves drew us out–
bubbles forming a heart,
popping in the sand.
At low tide,
awed by its stench
a dead sea lion
drew us in,
to us.
Mother and sons,
making footprints and memories
Minus one.
