SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN

​​​​

​​​

We publish original creative writing on all topics, but are especially drawn to work engaging with the cities, cultures, and ecologies of the U.S. East and West Coasts. We love political poetry, ecopoetry, love poems, poems about the body, feminist poetry, queer poetry, and writing that engages with history, literature, art, and/or modern culture. Hybrid, experimental, or cross-genre work is welcome. Please no COVID/quarantine poems or light verse. We are wary of alternating rhyme schemes.

​

Poetry: 1-5 poems. Titles preferred. Translations welcome.

​

Nonfiction, book reviews, interviews, critiques, braided essays, etc:

1,000-3,000 words, though this is not a hard rule.

​

Photography or art: Submit up to 10 photos or works of art using the highest image quality possible.

​

We do not accept AI-generated work. Simultaneous submissions are allowed; upon acceptance, kindly withdraw your work elsewhere. 

​

We are not affiliated with any university or organization, and we are self-funded.
