They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change." — Audre Lorde In the Texas of 2026, the "Master’s House" has become increasingly visible through surveillance and the hollowing out of public discourse. We find ourselves in a moment where speaking directly can lead to erasure. Texas Poetry Assignment invites submissions for a special new series titled "The Hidden State." We are seeking poems that do not merely protest, but inhabit. We want poems that use the "Master’s Tools"—the cold, sterile registers of the institution—to build a "Hidden State" for the truths that can no longer safely reside in the public transcript. THE RHETORIC OF POETIC CAMOFLAUGE FOUR OPTIONS FOR “HOUSING” A MARGINALIZED TRUTH OR PROHIBITED NARRATIVE To achieve successful Opacity, practitioners must select the most resilient enclosure or shell based on the localized threat assessment: PATTERN 1: Environmental Organic– Utilizes botanical, biological, and geological registers as universal proxies for prohibited human narratives. Hiding by Growing: Burying the human signal within dense, "neutral" biological or geological noise. PATTERN 2: Historical Topographical– Employs archival temporal distancing, layering modern crisis over antiquated deeds, census records, and colonial maps. Hiding by Bordering: Flattening a modern crisis into the safety of distant archival records, colonial maps, or topographical boundaries. PATTERN 3: Kinetic Relational – Documents displacement and movement through the technical syntax of GPS metadata, surveillance "Pings," and logistical transit logs. Hiding by Connecting: Dispersing identity across a moving, interconnected web or rhythm that a static audit cannot pin down. PATTERN 4: Bureaucratic Structural– The most aggressive tier; inhabits the sterile register of the state to establish autonomous, unreadable zones within official documentation. Hiding by Anchoring: Mimicking the cold, rigid geometry and jargon of the oppressor (audits, compliance metrics) to build a "Mirror Cipher" of over-compliance. “The Hidden State” Workshop On Sunday, March 15, 2026, 6 - 8 pm CST, join Laurence Musgrove for a discussion of this assignment, the growth of state-sponsored surveillance and silencing, as well as the four-tiered strategies above, along with samples from each. Materials from the workshop are here. Submission Guidelines The Poem: One poem (max 50 lines) that adopts a "compliant" technical or bureaucratic register as its primary skin. The Lordean Key: Each submission must include a brief (150-word) "Key." This is your aesthetic and rhetorical justification: explain the "Heartbeat" (the truth) you are protecting and how the chosen pattern functions as a defensive rhetorical act. The Pilot: Selected poems will be published in TPA and will serve as primary evidence for a more extended call distributed to poets in other literary organizations in the state. Deadline: April 15, 2026. Poems will be published as accepted here. HOW TO SUBMIT Poetry submissions should be saved in Microsoft Word document format and composed in Times New Roman, 12-point font.

Thanks to Vincent Hostak for this suggestion and the following information. Texas sits against nearly 600,000 square miles of ocean in the Gulf of Mexico, the largest gulf on the planet. It has 367 miles of coastland measured as nearly 3,400 miles when inlets and bays are considered (NOAA calls this a measurement of shoreline). It is a source of regional and international commerce and has historically significant ports of entry for immigrants and refugees. It attracts oceanographers, zoologists, climatologists, marine biologists, and other scientific communities to study floods, hurricanes, shore animals, sea turtles, flora, and the unique biomes of marshes and wetlands as well. A place of beauty and solace for generations, the shores continue to be a meaningful place for vacationers, marine fishers, writers, and communities that live adjacent to the shore.

Poems began as song.” "If I knew where good music came from, I'd go there more often." Guy Clark Poems published so far in this series will be linked here.

THE TITLE OF THIS ASSIGNMENT The title of this assignment comes from the June 28, 2022 hearing with Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Mark Meadows aide. She claimed that when Trump was told it was unsafe for him to join in the attack of the Capitol, he became “irate” and tried to grab the wheel of the presidential limo, known as “The Beast.” (Given later reporting, it may be that Trump was in another White House SUV rather than the limo.) The driver of the vehicle, Secret Service Special Agent Bobby Engel, the head of the president’s protective detail, restrained Trump from taking the wheel and was subsequently attacked by Trump.

Common objects of focus include the extinction of species, language, homeland, memory, ability, environment, history, identity, and culture, as well as any effort to intentionally extinguish, purge, renew, or protect those. Given this focus and its objects, extinctual thinking will include attention to the six additional concepts of causality, impermanence, interbeing, suffering, equanimity, and freedom. Causality: the cause and effects of extinction and its remedies. Impermanence: aspects of change that characterize the arising, growth, and passing away of all things, including time, birth, transformation, evolution, and death. Interbeing: the inherent worthiness, interdependent relationship, ecology, inheritance, influence, and shared material of all beings. Suffering: the physical and psychological injuries caused by extinction and threats of the same. Extinction and related suffering may be caused by human ignorance of cause and effect, fear of change, and selfish craving in rejection of interbeing. Equanimity: the rebalancing acts of community, consciousness, and compassion. Freedom: the healing acts of education, friendship, activism, and protection made in response to extinction and related suffering. Other concepts related to extinctual thinking include death, absence, loss, decline, extermination, cancel, extinguish, elimination, disappearance, cleansing, annihilation, destruction, end, termination, and decay. Resources to consider include work by Bill McKibben, ecopsychology, the Holocene or sixth extinction, Richard Rohr on our relationship with Earth, and Buddhist responses from Joanna Macy and Tara Brach.

TEJASCOVIDO requested submissions from poets, teachers, artists, photographers, and other writers that demonstrated that power, comfort, and benefit. We wanted to share with readers how COVID-19 is affecting health, mental well-being, income, family, friendships, work, the moral imagination, as well as local, regional, national, and international relationships. We were especially interested in poems that were crafted with careful attention to shape, line, analogy, music, balance, and beauty. Essays would be written in first person with patient attention to scene, character, tension, dialogue, and empathy. CONTRIBUTORS Robert Allen — Dario R.

before dawning. Or could it be someone’s flipped the awning? Either way, this bridal dress consummates Union states once thought virginal, wedlocked Land, indigene island, no one’s bedrock. Run to the window if you even care, In your oil-heated home (dare not to stare!); Sweet lighting glows, but the veil obfuscates The view—see who’s most eager to scamper?
