our story
th_Eroses began as the site for a work of internet theatre; artists would log in to the shared wix site and write or edit the site 'as' the avatar of El Toro, a bullfighter who leaves the ring to become a flowering tree (a metaphor for the poet's role in society). The online garden blossomed rapidly, and soon became anarchical. The decision was made to close the gate, and operate the site as a more traditionally-curated aesthetic publication. However, true to our origins, we are still open to submissions 24 / 7 / 365, and accept all different forms of poetry- visual art, online performance, short film, sound gardens, or experimental choreography.
