We are now accepting submissions centred around the theme of impossibility. In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, the Queen upbraids Alice for not practicing a belief in the impossible. Like the Queen, we challenge you to reconsider what you think is impractical, unlikely, or unrealizable.
Impossibility is often a temporary state transformed through reflection and action. We are seeking work that questions whether the things we consider impossible truly are. What would it look like if they were no longer so? What needs to change for that to be? Or perhaps, what has now become real that you once thought completely out of the question?
We welcome:
-
Poetry
-
Fiction (flash or short stories)
-
Creative nonfiction
-
Visual art & photography
-
