The Four Elements Issue of Young Ravens Literary Review
The Four Elements Issue of Young Ravens Literary Review
In Issue 5, we are delving into the Four Elements—earth, fire, water and wind. Ideas we would love to see explored include:
Earth—give us your memories of rich garden loam, green places lost to urbanity, and the heat of desert sands and dense humid canopies. Take us up mountains and down valleys into rabbit holes and volcanoes.
Fire—take us back in time to the first spark that ignited the Big Bang. Tell us of candle prayers and campfires, of burning bushes and how fire has shaped humanity.
Water—show us this changeling element from dew to razor icicle, from veils of mist to river ribbons. Count the microbeads of plastic polluting bleached coral reefs, and shores drowning under melting ice. Wonder at lost Martian seas, and what a cup of lunar water might taste like. Tell us of beach days, chlorine blue pools, wild foaming oceans and the water in our veins.
Wind—teach us a hurricane’s rage and how to revel in a cool breeze. Tell us of flying kites and lost balloons and the skittering of autumn leaves.
We accept fiction, nonfiction, visual art, and poetry of all flavors, from free verse to found. We are also interested in submissions that include raven artwork.
Submissions will be accepted until October 31st, 2016.
