SUMMARY:PFN - Passager Journal Seeks Submissions on the Theme of "Ancestral or Generational Trauma"
DESCRIPTION:Writers must be age 50 or older at the time of publication to submit.\nPublication: January/February\, Guest Editor: Christine Lincoln\nAccepted genres: poetry\, memoir\, short fiction\nUp to 5 poems\, 40-line max ea. OR 4\,000 words of prose\nNo reading fee\nAbout the theme: Ancestral or Generational Trauma \nWe hear the words ancestral trauma and we might immediately think of childhood sexual or physical abuse\, or the dissolution of our parents’ marriage\, or the discovery some awful family secret. Secrets and generational trauma often go hand in hand. \nBut there are other less obvious ways we can and\, most likely\, have experienced ancestral trauma. Generational trauma can be something as seemingly insignificant as being raised to fear people who live in the inner city\, or something as quietly insidious as growing up poor\, or it could be something as prevalent as bearing witness in a family that did not treat its women with the highest regard. \nThe truth is only you\, the writer\, the artist\, can decide the kinds of trauma that have been passed down as easily as mother’s milk\, the limiting beliefs and damaging ideas handed down as succinctly as family myths and bedtime stories—the legacy of pain that has been perpetuated by our ancestors\, because they could not do any better\, but also the generational trauma we have inadvertently continued\, because of our inability—until now—to look straight into the shadows where these things hide\, to heal\, and transcend\, create a new legacy. \nWriters must be age 50 or older at the time of publication to submit. \nYou can send paper submissions by postal mail or submit online via Submittable.
