PFN – The Parliament Literary Journal Seeking Submissions. Theme: “Secrets”
Call for Submissions
Hello my Owls,
Even though, as I type this now, the weather outside has hit near-record high temperatures and the added humidity has us stripped to the bare essential (we’re modest-ish), I’ve got Winter on my mind. I’m imagining what, when the weather turns beyond the invigorating crisp of autumn into the shocking grips of the winter’s air, what I’d like to be cozied up with. In selecting the theme for our Winter 2024 issue, I envisaged myself under blankets, curled into the nooks of someone equally soft and strong against me, hot tea at the ready, and reading . . . what exactly? What does Winter bring?
And I thought: There’s something hushed about Winter, voices muffled under layers, our words bound closer to us. We don’t spill out the door as quickly or even as often as we do in the warmer weather. There is an alone-ness to the Winter not found in other seasons, as we turn inside our homes and inside ourselves; hibernating with our thoughts… and our SECRETS.
For our Winter 2024 issue, I invite you to join me in (metaphorically) opening the windows and shouting into the bitter air that awaits us SECRETS.
You are invited to interpret this theme creatively. Create uniquely. Submit your most unusual and beautiful.
Share your secrets.
