Issue 12 Call for Submissions
In Issue 12, we are exploring the contours of the word DELICIOUS.
Ideas we would love to see explored include:
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 June 15, 2020.
Ideas we would love to see explored include:
- How does deliciousness gel and gem in the memory? Your best day, the transient perfect moment, the shared experience.
- How do decadence, restraint and anticipation compete and enrich the experience of the delicious?
- Explore the sensory angles of all that is delicious—taste, scent, sound, touch and sight. Bring us with you! Show us each facet in verse and vision.
- How does deliciousness grow out of neurodiversity?
- What makes literature delicious to you?
- Sink into your favorite novel and write a poem that explores one of the character’s perspectives, considering how you can bring their sensory experience more vividly to the page.
- How can a relationship with another grow and become delicious, whether platonic or romantic? (*no erotic submissions)
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 June 15, 2020.
