PFN – Antithesis Journal Seeking Submissions with the Theme: “Cosmos”

Submissions for Antithesis Volume 33 are now open!

VOLUME 33: COSMOS

Wrapped in the darkness of the night for centuries, the stars above shone brightly. What was this blanket covering the horizon? It was everything, from the first millisecond of existence. It was cosmos. It instils wonder, curiosity, reverence and terror.

How could it be so many things to so many people? What does it mean to you? Do you embrace the idea of the cosmos, wanting to seek out the unknown? Or does it spark reflection within yourself as you are faced with its endless expanse? Can the cosmos be discovered through rigorous scientific methodology or careful spiritual reflection? How do the cultures that define us see the cosmos? Or will you reject this idea entirely as the human instinct to defy even in the face of the encompassing unknown?

At Antithesis this year, it is our mission to feature authentic, diverse voices that showcase what Cosmos evokes in 2023 and beyond. What can we learn from the past, and what can we change for the future? The team at Antithesis would love to know your thoughts.

What we’re looking for:

• Creative writing (short fiction, creative non-fiction, personal essays) up to 3,000 words
