SUMMARY:PFN - Apofenie Magazine: Re(writing) Home
DESCRIPTION:For many writers\, the idea of “home” emerges through imagined intimacies—entangled in the experiences of longing and belonging and textured through the languages of memory and loss. In the Epilogue to her biomythography\, Zami\, Audre Lorde describes how\, as a daughter of immigrants\, “once home was a long way off\, a place I had never been to but know out of my mother’s mouth.” Similarly\, James Baldwin remarked that “Perhaps home is not a place\, but an irrevocable condition.” Home is\, in many ways\, not a location but a contouring of one’s history\, both material and imagined. Moreover\, for those who live in the margins\, this concept often fails to capture the social cost of their liminality. In this issue of Apofenie\, we seek poetry\, prose\, and nonfiction that addresses this question of home—its problems\, possibilities\, architectures\, and mythologies. To what extent does the idea of home offer an apparatus for belonging? What are some of ways that it can be reclaimed and reimagined? We are especially interested in work that thematizes the problem of home amidst dislocation\, war\, post-coloniality\, disability\, and marginalized identities (including LGBTQ+). \nPlease send all submissions to apofeniemagazine@gmail.com. Submissions should specify genre and include a three-sentence biographical statement. Submissions must reflect the theme in order for consideration. \nWe accept simultaneous submissions as long as we are notified immediately if the work is accepted elsewhere. For translations\, we require a statement that you have received the author’s and/or the publisher’s permission to submit it for publication. We will not consider previously published work. All rights revert back to the author upon publication. \nUnfortunately\, we are not able to pay contributors at this time but are working on changing that. (If you’d like to help us support great literature\, become a Patreon subscriber). \nPoetry: 5 poems maximum \nFiction/Nonfiction: 5\,000 words maximum \nFlash Fiction: up to 1\,000 words

SUMMARY:PFN - Open Minds Quarterly Seeks Submissions.  Theme: "Cycles"
DESCRIPTION:Open Minds Quarterly is a literary journal that features explorations of life in a mad world. We welcome writing and art from people with lived experience of what is variously called mental health challenges\, mental illness\, madness\, and neurodivergence. We strive to promote these voices and perspectives by publishing work based on first-hand lived experience. \nThe theme for Summer 2022 will be: CYCLES. We encourage you to think of this theme broadly and incorporate into your work. Pieces that follow the theme will have a much higher chance of being selected for this issue than pieces that don’t follow the theme. Nonfiction\, reviews\, open letters\, and research should relate specifically to experiences of madness or mental health challenges. Poetry and fiction submissions do not need to focus on madness/mental health\, but we may prioritize pieces that we feel fit our mandate and this issue’s theme. \nYou may submit one (1) of the following: \n\nNONFICTION—First-hand accounts\, personal essays\, and memoir. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\nFICTION—Creative explorations of life through a mad lens. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\nRESEARCH—Studies on mental health that pass a formal ethics review. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\nLETTERS—Opinion pieces and letters for our editor or readers. 1 piece\, 3000 word limit.\n\nOR four (4) pieces of the following: \n\nPOETRY—From poets well-versed in mental health challenges. 4 piece limit.\nEXPERIMENTAL—Thinking and writing outside of the other boxes. 4 piece limit.\n\nWe accept simultaneous submissions. Please notify us as soon as possible if your work is accepted elsewhere. We do not publish work that has been selected for publication elsewhere. We do not accept previously published pieces. We do not publish excerpts from longer works. \nYou must be 18 or older to make a submission. \nPlease note\, it may take up to 60 days after the submission period has closed to review your submission.
