Here’s an opportunity for writers of essays and poetry — closing soon!
For our 2025 open call for digital submissions we welcome your writings and artwork on the theme of seeds as both the offspring/wellspring of the plants and also as metaphors for resilient reimagining and active adaptation. Seeds are teachers. Seeds intend to grow. Seeds carry the experience of all who came before, and seeds hold resiliency based in ancestral adaptation. Seeds are inherently generative and life-giving.
Window closes on July 15th.
