Meet the Reader: Charnell Peters

Our readers do so much work to keep Split Lip running, and we want you to get to know them! We've asked each of our poetry, fiction, and flash fiction readers: what makes you say yes to a submission? Poetry reader Charnell Peters weighs in:

"I love poems that don't wait, poems with immediacy in the first few lines that drag the reader into the mess of a micro world. I also have a soft spot for poems that bend words into non-traditional forms and that offer rather than explain."
