Editorial Focus

Poetry: we like narratives (simple or complex), grounded in imagery, that don’t shy away from the lyric impulse. A keen ear, well defined speakers, an attention to place—formal, free verse, experimental, try us out. Fiction: we want scene vs. exposition. We want showing rather than telling. We want beautiful language and syntactical mastery. Don’t be afraid to send us work that doesn’t seem to fit anywhere else—the absurd, the macabre—but please, no genre. Art: everything from sculpture to oil on canvas, surprise us!
