Welcome back for Day 19, everyone.

Our featured journal today is Muzzle Magazine, which has published NaPoWriMo-er and punk rock performance poet William James. Muzzle is open for submissions year-round.

Also! If you have any ideas for featured presses or journals (I’m looking in particular for those that have published (or will soon be publishing) NaPoWriMo participants), please send me your ideas at napowrimonet-AT-gmail-DOT-com!

Today’s featured participant is The Georgia Southern University NaPoWriMo blog.

And now for today’s (optional) prmpt. This is a bit silly, but it’s Saturday. I recently got a large illustrated guide to sea shells. There are some pretty wild names for sea shells. Today I challenge you to take a look at the list of actual sea shell names below, and to use one or more of them to write a poem. You poem doesn’t have to be about sea shells at all — just inspired by one or more of the names.
