Mouthful of Salt

Volume 03

Granules is home to work that lives in the in-between. We’re drawn to pieces that feel fragmented, experimental, and that leave something behind.

This cycle, we’re interested in short, sharp poems, stories, and hybrid pieces that are seasoned with tension, rich with voice, and brined with memory.

You can find the full archive here.

In the upper corners are “@MOUTHFULOFSALT_” and “GRANULES, VOL. 03.” On the right, red and black text reads “BLACK HISTORY MONTH POETRY SERIES” with a small arrow pointing right. On the left is an illustration of a Black woman’s side-profile silhouette with textured afro hair decorated with colorful geometric patterns and small heart shapes.
