Another opportunity to pass along!
We invite writers, poets, artists, and creatives to submit to our upcoming Spring 2024 issue, exploring the themes of resurgence, restoration, and renewal.
We encourage you to interpret the theme broadly. We welcome fiction, nonfiction, poetry, visual art, photo essays, and short films that attend to places of quiet resurgence, unexpected healing, and ongoing survivance. While we believe that attention to the possibility of revival is its own powerful form of resistance, we understand that over-simplified celebrations of peoples, individuals, or ecosystems that overcome adversity can obscure structural inequities and reinforce damaging stereotypes about “naturalness” and “normality.” With this mind, we are also open to work that complicates or even critiques concepts like “resilience,” “restoration,” and “healing.” We are eager to learn how the theme speaks to you, and we hope to be surprised by your unique perspective.
No submission fee
Deadline: February 29th, 2024
