 Wild Embers PressWe are looking for voices which carry a message of change, of love and liberation from marginalized places, unexplored spaces. We love art, photography included with narratives and are inclined to publish "experimental" work, writing which pushes the borderlands between one genre and another, disappearing divisions between us. All together. |
