Hey ,

We are listening to Westlife this week. No, our editor Abasiama Udom is and she has taken to sending notes from their songs to our editorial group🤦🏿‍♂️

There is however one line from Every little thing you do that resonates with everyone.

It's every little thing you do that makes me fall in love with you

That is how we feel reading all the poems that are coming in this submission period. We are awed by the amazing creativity that hits our inbox daily. Keep it coming. And join us on our Westlife journey if you love music. (Secret: it might be mid life crisis our editor is going through. Don't tell 🤫)

Book Showcase
