Birth Control Poetry

by Fringe Magazine 06.25.2012

In this week’s moving piece about what it was like to go public about her abortion, Carolyn Jones talks about the importance of first person stories in the political debate around reproductive rights.

With that in mind, Fringe is launching a new blog project. Send us a short something expressing your viewpoint and/or experiences with contraception — a limerick, haiku, six-word novel, or micro-fiction of 50 words or less.

Email submissions to FringeTheMagazine@gmail.com. We’ll post the best — with attribution — on the blog.

Fringe: it’s the noun that verbs your world, and the magazine you’re reading. We publish work that is political or experimental in form or content and define both “political” and “experimental” broadly. “Political” can mean work that incorporates or comments on current events or it can mean literature and art that further personal dignity and advocate human rights. We regard “experimental” work as work that breaks with the canon, takes formal risks, or explores a strange or impossible point of view.

    Given the sensitive nature of the original subject matter being described, I feel compelled to first comment on that…but instead…I must say that I had goosebumps the entire time I read this article. I have never read anything that so perfectly explains why one writes…or tells a story…or attempts to make an impact. Carry on. One person’s faith has been renewed.
