PFN – Conjunctions Seeking Submissions to Issue 84. Theme: We Love All We Voices
Conjunctions has always been language-centric. In that spirit we are also featuring a special portfolio edited by Trinidadian-American novelist Robert Antoni, in which vernacular writing is explored as an agent of its own authenticity—open, malleable, subversive, aggressively multi, overtly political, plenty rude, and alive. Nowhere have English-based vernaculars proliferated so vociferously as in the Western Hemisphere’s first melting pot, the Caribbean. Writings from this far-flung diaspora, as much or more than any other, make melody central to their meaning. Glossaries and footnotes are out; this cognitive and acoustic work must be accomplished in context. Perhaps most challenging of all, until fairly recently, there were few models to follow. Now they accrue with a vengeance: here, for instance.
