PFN – Still Points Arts Quarterly Seeks Submissions. Theme: “Gardening: An Instrument of Grace”
The focus of our summer 2022 journal will be:
GARDENING: AN INSTRUMENT OF GRACE
“Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.”
—May Sarton
Still Point Arts Quarterly is now accepting writing submissions (fiction, creative non-fiction, essays, poetry; 5000 words maximum) on the theme GARDENING.
The deadline for writing submissions is April 1, 2022. Accepted work will be published in the summer 2022 issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly. Writers whose work is accepted will be notified sometime in the months of April and May 2022.
