] Lifing Journal [] 44822 [ By J. Parker Marvin



Gray fog wetting gray stone grayer The romanticism of concrete Arthritic knees brittle over the unstraying patterns They are dictators against the soft underfoot organic Prohibitions bring density bring hardness bring fracture The mission of god must be to dehumanize everything in preparation for chaos That is why a mother breaks and dissolves away from her children Gray stone ground into paste and dyed darker as appeasement Gradients evolving toward darkness is trending Gradients trending toward darkness is darkness The fog is already dead

MISSION STATEMENT 

© 2022-PRESENT by dipity literary magazine

Dipity Literary Magazine aims to shine a light on a wide array of underrepresented voices from different parts of the world including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, creators with disabilities, and also those from Instagram, or aspiring poets. We accept unpublished poetry of all styles i.e. haikus, art, prose, spoken audio, and short fiction stories. Short stories are the exception of previously published ones.  Additionally, we spotlight discovered unique writing styles through a bonus shares section and musicians who are supportive of the poetry world.  Dipity leverages visual morph art,  photography, and experimental digital collage work in each issue. Dipity values human kindness, exposing heartfelt truths, and taking time to have fun in writing while pushing traditional boundaries. You must write what you truly feel and release every slippery banana peel in this dimension.
