SUMMARY:PN - Tiny Spoon: a bite-size experimental literary magazine: Celestial eclipse!
DESCRIPTION:As we embark on our twelfth issue amid the spring of a solar eclipse\, we turn our attention to the vast expanse and endless awe that is our celestial ceiling. We sojourn into soft\, vacant space\, illuminate with drifting\, cosmic light. How are we connected – to ether\, each other – as we witness again our midday sun become nothing more than a corona of light embracing our lunar sister? What fragments of light reach us? \n“Humans became human when they started looking up” – a Delphi tour guide told us this when we pondered the mountain peaks from afar\, speaking of celestial abyss we wonder about the explosions and ruptures which catalog our dreams above our very heads as we turn\, in our own moments of stillness\, on an Earth with such mighty force we do not notice\, yet it rules everything surrounding everything. Magic! \nAstronauts ponder the depths of the space belly illuminating the galaxy\, the velvet frontier of meaning. Planets aligning\, lunar energy moving ripples upon the water and shifting the whole of the galaxy. Moons clinging to the bellies of planets like dear companions. Companionship and space as a relationship to the offerings of potential. The galaxy is a soup and the planets are the bobbing meatballs. \nEclipse is the hovering of two beings meeting in a dance of universe\, blocking\, occultation of two bodies rupturing the sight line before your eye. Shadowing of the sun\, veiling the bride of life in an obscure darkness. The atmosphere is a blanket of time. \nCelestial bodies held in orbit around one another. What are our gravitational pulls? What kismet and timing allow for one to shroud the other so that a halo of light might frame the moon? What does this mean for other moments that feel cosmic? For moments that might be in alignment / misalignment / disalignment? What might be other natural or forced altered perspectives? \nWe want your whimsy\, spaced-out dreams\, your illuminations and darkness. We want your astrological projections and zodiac antics. We want your universe unveiled within Issue 12 CELESTIAL ECLIPSE. \nWHAT WE LOOK FOR:\nHere at Tiny Spoon\, we are especially interested in experimental work\, although not exclusively. If you’ve had trouble finding a home for your work because it doesn’t fit into generally recognized categories\, chances are your home is right here with us. \nWe seek work that pushes the boundaries of conventional genres; work that is daring\, experimental\, innovative\, quirky\, thoughtful\, vulnerable\, electric\, eccentric. In other words\, your inner workings expanded and exposed\, raw and immediate; your fragile soul parted at the seams into our bound paper glossary of tiny wonder. Your voice is beautiful\, edgy\, infinite\, and unique\, and we want to raise it. \n\n\n\n\n\nSUBMIT\n\n\nPlease submit through our official form. Only those submitted here within the open call for submissions will be considered. \n\n\n\nGUIDELINES:\n\nFormat text: sent as .doc\, .docx\, .rtf\, or .pdf\nArt: .jpeg or .tif\nPlease label the file “Last Name_Title of Work”\nLength per piece: 1\,000 words max\nFont: 12 pt Garamond or a similar font\nUp to three pieces per submission. Any additional work after the first three will not be reviewed. Please refrain from inserting text submissions directly into the body of the email.\nPlease limit to one submission per issue.\nSimultaneous submissions allowed. Please let us know if it is published elsewhere.\nSubmissions are free!\nPlease provide a one sentence bio about yourself.\nCover letters are not required\, but you may send one if you’d like. We won’t show preference based on this.\nYou will maintain the rights to your work; if it is published elsewhere or in a collection\, we simply ask that you give us credit for first publication.\nSubmitted work will be considered for our print and/or online blog\, which allows us to accept more submissions since print space is limited.

SUMMARY:PFN - Terrain.org: Online Environmental Magazine of Literature and Place Seeking "Climate Stories in Action"
DESCRIPTION:By some research estimates\, 98 percent of climate and environmental reporting is negative. Climate stories tend to focus on the overall issue and impact by explaining climate science or consequences. Very few focus on action or offer examples of what successful and inspiring collective climate action looks like. \nPsychologists have been studying how stories about climate change affect people. They tell us that the doom and disaster narratives that dominate newsfeeds often lead us to withdraw\, shut down and feel isolated. Stories about climate solutions and actions do the opposite. Narratives and art that center solutions\, introduce us to everyday climate heroes\, and showcase the joy discovered through community engagement often lead to feelings of agency and possibility. \nThe “Climate Stories in Action” series will expand our vision of climate activism and help people imagine meaningful ways to be involved. We are inviting storytellers to submit poetry\, nonfiction\, and fiction that showcase climate activism in professional\, civic and community life. We are interested in stories that help shift our cultural mindset from despair to creative possibility and from isolation to collective purpose. \nWe welcome submissions about how being a part of this critical climate movement can help us live better\, more meaningful\, lives. We are interested in stories that help us dream about what is possible\, that bring to life why collective action matters\, and that inspire people to find or redefine their roles in the climate movement. \nThis groundswell of new climate stories—narratives and art that people can see themselves in—is essential to building the collective response needed at this hingepoint for humans and the planet. \nSubmission Period and Payment\nPriority submission deadline is April 8\, 2024\, at midnight. Notifications will be made beginning in May 2024. \nFrom those submitted\, a review committee will select 12 pieces for publication in the “Climate Stories in Action” series. \nAll contributions will receive $200. There is no entry fee to submit. \nGenres\nOriginal\, previously unpublished submissions will be considered for the following genres. You are welcome to submit pieces in more than one genre\, but do not submit more than two submissions until you have heard back from us. \nPlease include a cover letter containing your brief bio with your submission\, and indicate whether your submission is poetry\, nonfiction\, fiction\, art\, video\, or mixed media/genre/hybrid in the cover letter. \n\nPoetry need not follow any particular form. Submit from one to six poems of any length in a single document. We also consider poem/image combinations. Photos or other graphics may be inserted into the document\, but if accepted will be requested as separate files.\nNonfiction may include creative nonfiction\, personal essays/memoir\, photo essays\, and other essays or articles\, which need not follow any particular style. Accompanying resource links\, graphics\, and sidebars are encouraged. Photos or other graphics may be inserted into the document\, but if accepted will be requested as separate files. 5\,000 words maximum.\nFiction including short stories\, excerpts from unpublished novels\, flash fiction\, and other forms of fiction will be considered. 5\,000 words maximum.
