PFN – Call for Submissions to Moss Puppy Magazine. Theme: Amberfields
Call For Submissions: Amberfields
For our eighth issue, we journey into the golden and bittersweet theme of “Amberfields.” We are seeking prose and poetry that captures the warmth and nostalgia of fields bathed in amber light, as well as the longing, transience, and beauty that lie beneath their glow. We invite you to interpret this theme both literally and abstractly: imagine the sun-drenched haze of wheat fields, the golden hues of autumn leaves, or the glimmer of amber resin preserving memories of the past. Consider the contrast of fleeting seasons, the interplay of light and shadow, or the landscapes of memory and imagination.
Issue 8: What We’re Looking For
We are particularly interested in pieces that delve into themes of warmth, memory, and transience, including personal experiences with nostalgia and change. Explore the golden glow of sunlight filtering through tall grasses, the bittersweet beauty of fading seasons, and the hidden shadows cast by the amber light. Themes might include the cyclical nature of life, the seeds of new beginnings, or the weathered remnants of what once flourished.
We seek emotionally resonant pieces that linger with us long after we’ve experienced them, much like the wistful beauty of an amber-hued field at dusk. Whether you choose vivid imagery of golden landscapes or more metaphorical explorations of nostalgia, transformation, or impermanence, we encourage you to interpret the theme in your unique way.
Let your creativity wander through the radiant expanse of “Amberfields.” We can’t wait to see how you bring this theme to life through your words and art.
