Sample Poem

Rock, Paper, Scissors
by Carlie Holmboe

      She made a deal with the Devil
      My sister did
      in 1985

      We still don't know if she'll survive
     
      Beside the creek
      Our paper boats float
      I'm holding the scissors under my coat

      She's laughing at lillies
      I'm watching too close

      She's swimming toward me
      I'm holding the rope

News/Updates

Important information about submissions: Please read. 

Please note that The Stray Branch is currently working on a heavy backlog. Issue #5 will be released this March and issues #6 Fall/Winter 2010, #7 Spring/Summer 2011 and #8 Fall/Winter 2011 are now full so any submissions of poetry or fiction sent now, if accepted will not appear in publication until 2012. I do not want to hold up anyone’s work for that long of a period of time but if this is not a problem for you feel free to submit just keep in mind the length of time between acceptance and publication. Artwork and photography submissions are still needed for #8. All artwork and photography also considered for the cover. Reading times for The Stray Branch are
from October thru April.
