Call for Submissions: The CDC Poetry Project

Call for Submissions: The CDC Poetry Project 

The CDC Poetry Project seeks poems that use all seven of the words that have been forbidden in Centers for Disease Control and Prevention documents for 2018.

Sarah Freligh and Amy Lemmon started this project on December 16, 2017, in response to the news reported in the Washington Post on December 15 that the CDC has been banned from using 7 words (“vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based").

One new poem per day will be published on the site starting January 1, 2018. Full Submission guidelines are available on the website.
