SUMMARY:PFN - Sage Cigarettes Magazine Seeking Poetry & Prose on the Theme of The Sun
DESCRIPTION:Poetry & prose in the theme of The Sun (XIX)\nSage Cigarettes Magazine will release its first compiled issue since Oct. 2021 on June 20\, 2024. The issue theme will be The Sun (XIX). \n\n\n\nThe theme is tarot-based but open to wide interpretation. The sun is the card of Leo\, of summer\, of deep abiding happiness\, of fields of summer flowers\, & the smell of sun-kissed wood. In reverse\, the sun card is an indication of incomplete happiness\, of good fortune just out of reach\, of realizing that joy is a feeling & nothing is final. Tell us about the best days of your life\, the days that fell short\, the days that were golden despite it all. Explore the feeling of the sun at your back\, the hum of tires against pavement during a summer road trip\, the smell of warm honeysuckle. \nWe will consider a wide variety of takes on the theme. \nWe will open for submissions for this new issue on April 1\, 2024 & close May 15\, 2024. We will accept poetry\, fiction\, & creative non-fiction in the theme of The Sun (XIX). \nSubmission guidelines\n\nAll submissions must be sent to submissions@sagecigarettes.com. No submissions sent to individual editors will be considered for this themed call.\nAuthors & artists may send up to:\n\n3 poems\n2 flash pieces — fiction or cnf — up to 1\,000 words each\n1 short story between 1\,000-4\,000 words\n\n\nWe will send all responses by no later than June 9\, 2024. We will respond to everyone & post updates via our social media.\nAny additional questions can be directed to Managing Editor LE Francis\, lefrancis@sagecigarettes.com.\n\n\nGeneral submission guidelines\n\nAuthors published with Sage Cigarettes retain all rights to their work.\nEvery submission must include a short contributor bio & preferred method of contact.\nSimultaneous submissions are encouraged but please let us know ASAP if your work was accepted elsewhere.\nPreviously published pieces will be considered but please be sure that that you are in the clear with any agreement made with your previous publisher & let us know who previously published the work & when.\nPlease include a list of trigger warnings in the body of your email if applicable.\nAny work submitted which is found to be racist\, bigoted\, hateful and/or work which promotes gratuitous or sexual violence will not be published and may result in the writer being banned from submitting and from our socials.\nWe will remove or reject work by any submitter or contributor we find to have plagiarized or been racist\, misogynistic\, homophobic\, ableist or hateful in the literary community.

SUMMARY:P - Call for Submissions to Songs of Eretz Poetry Review.  Theme: Respond to Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn"
DESCRIPTION:WHAT WE WANT TO READ IN RESPONSE \n to \nKeats’s “Ode on a Grecian Urn” \n\nJohn Keats’s masterpiece\, “Ode on a Grecian Urn” explores human emotions and the enduring power of art. For our next issue\, we are not looking for paraphrases or explanations of his ode. Rather\, we want poems that spring from Keats’s vision. \n\nOne possible prompt is to use a line or part of a line as an epigraph and to go from there.  Another prompt is to write into one of Keats’s themes\, such as the immortality of art\, or how a poem (like a vase) is a unit unto itself.  A poem is static in that it has been given a finished form\, but the images within the poem can seem quite active. \n\nOf course\, a writer could also dive deep into Keats’s famous line\, “Beauty is truth\, truth beauty.”  We must see some connection to Keats’s poem\, but the connection need not be overtly obvious.  Surprise us! \nHOW TO SUBMIT\nFailure to follow these simple guidelines will result in your submission being discarded or returned to you unread!\n\nPlease resist the urge to include anything with your submission that we do not specifically request\, especially your bio (we like to read as blindly as possible)\, credits (we treat the novice and the experienced equally)\, or explanatory notes (if you believe your poem requires an explanation\, please revise it until it doesn’t).\n\n  \n\n Submit up to THREE poems to:  \n\nsubmissionssofe@gmail.com \nThere is no fee to submit.\n \n  \n\n Your Subject Line should be formatted as follows:  [Poetry Submission][Title][Specific Form of poem\, such as Free Verse or Shakespearean Sonnet][Poet’s Last Name].\n\n\n If you are submitting more than one poem\, each should appear in a separate email\, and each email should include a separate cover letter.  If your poem has multiple numbered sections\, each section will “count” as ONE poem.  If your poem contains more than three sections\, query first.\n\n\n\n5. Your poem(s) must appear in the body of your email(s).  WE DO NOT ACCEPT ATTACHMENTS FOR POETRY.  If your poem needs to be presented in an attachment due to special formatting\, query first.\n6.Include a cover letter in the body of your email(s) with answers to the following questions\n\n(and remember NOT to include a biography at this process stage): \n– Is yours a simultaneous submission or not?  We DO accept them. \n– How did you discover Songs of Eretz? \n– How would you like us to indicate your name if we publish your work (ie: your byline\, for example\, “By Sammie Smith”)?  NOTE:  We do NOT accept work composed by a collaboration of poets or artists. \n– What is your contact information?  Include at least your city & state.  Include your country if you reside outside of the United States.  It is strongly recommended that you include your phone number as well\, in case we need last-minute input from you (this has happened). \n\n Reprint Policy:We DO NOT accept previously published work.\n Simultaneous Submissions Policy:We accept sim subs.\n Multiple Submissions Policy: Please wait until after your poem(s) is/are published in or rejected by Songs of Eretz before sending more.\n\n\n Response Time: Please query if you have not received at least a preliminary response in twenty-onecalendar days.  We no longer offer editorial feedback.\n\n\n Rights To Your Poetry: If your work is accepted and you agree to join the ranks of the other fine poets who have been published in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review\,your work will appear in the quarterly issue for which it was submitted. In exchange\, you will grant Songs of Eretz the first worldwide publication rights\, first worldwide electronic rights\, non-exclusive archival rights in perpetuity\, non-exclusive anthology rights in perpetuity\, and non-exclusive reprint rights in perpetuity.\n\n\nAll other rights will revert to you upon publication\, but we would appreciate the courtesy of allowing Songs of Eretz an exclusive for a few months if that is not too much trouble. \n     Acknowledgement:We expect to be acknowledged as the venue of the firstpublication should you reprint your work. \n\nPublished Format:  Songs of Eretzreserves the right to make the editorial decision to publish any poem aligned left\, right\, or centered. If your poem is concrete or requires a special format\, please query first.

SUMMARY:N - Radical History Review Calls for Submissions on the Theme: The Rest is Political: Radical Histories of Repose
DESCRIPTION:The Rest is Political: Radical Histories of Repose – Due May 15\, 2024\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRadical History Review seeks contributions to a forthcoming issue that will explore the expansive possibilities when we historicize rest. \nRest is everywhere part of quotidian human experience\, and the human body’s need for intermittent periods of restorative unconsciousness is a universal feature of our shared biology. Yet how societies\, communities and individuals have segmented sleep in time\, sequestered it in space and fought over access to it are matters of historical study. In the wake of the 24-hour workday\, chronobiology and other interdisciplinary fields of medical science and public health research emerged in the second half of the twentieth century. Yet calls to “slow down” amidst today’s great speed-up seem to have done little to abate the contemporary public health and social justice crisis. \nHistory does not pause during the minutes and hours of daily repose. On the contrary\, sleep is perennially the subject of fervent contestation. The medical\, architectural\, cultural\, social\, legal\, and political economic dimensions of sleep lend it to critical study; the dangerous\, vexing\, and by now normalized dearth of it in today’s world makes it the urgent subject of radical history. \nInspired by the contemporary urgency of ensuring the right to restorative time away from labor\, with this issue the editors hope to highlight the radical potential for the historical study of sleep and rest\, and the opportunities this area of study provides for historians to connect with scholars in the natural sciences\, architects and planners\, and policymakers and activists. \nCollectively\, the contributions to this issue\, we hope\, can redefine spaces of refuge and shelter\, question received ideas about obligatory productivity\, and probe the boundaries between private and public. We encourage submissions from and about all parts of the world and historical epochs\, particularly from the pre- and early-modern eras as well as more contemporary history. We endeavor not necessarily to trace a global\, transhistorical trajectory of how people have slept in times past\, but rather to find models for studying this element of everyday life whose immense political power is hidden in plain sight. \nTopics may include but are not limited to: \n\nthe organization of domestic space and radical solutions to organizing dwellings to accommodate—and to create—patterns of sleep and wakefulness\nthe historical archeology of sleep\nhow did urban planning account for sleep and rest?\nhousing “crises\,” or contestations of the right to housing and to places of residence\, rest and refuge\nlying down as a form of protest and public resistance\nuses and abuses of the medical science of sleep\, in both the premodern and modern eras\nthe historical study of lying down and the body at rest; movement\, genuflection\, and the politics of prostration\nrevisiting and revising the classic studies of workers’ struggles over time by centering sleep\ndreams and their interpretation as historical artifacts\nthe religious history of rest; “the sleep of the just” as a reward for productive day\ncolonial and nationalist metaphors of sleeping\, waking\, lying down\, or standing up\nsleep deprivation as a disciplinary and as an intelligence-gathering strategy\ncontestation about when\, where\, and how\, and with whom people may sleep\nsocial movements and radical ideologies in history that believed in political liberation through rest\nideas\, practices\, and contestations over nature/land as requiring rest\nthe historically constructed relationship between sleep and the night\n\nRadical History Review publishes material in a wide variety of forms. The editors will consider scholarly research articles as well as photo essays\, film and book review essays\, interviews\, brief interventions\, essays on museum and other public history forums\, “conversations” between scholars and/or activists\, teaching notes and annotated course syllabi\, and research notes. \nPreliminary inquiries may be sent to issue editors Amy Chazkel (ac2227@columbia.edu) and Anup Grewal (anup.grewal@utoronto.ca). \nProcedures for submission of articles: \nBy May 15\, 2024\, please submit a 1-2 page abstract summarizing the article you wish to submit to our online journal management system\, ScholarOne. To begin with ScholarOne\, sign in or create an account at https://mc04.manuscriptcentral.com/dup-rhr. Next\, sign in\, select “Author” from the menu up top\, and click “Begin Submission” or “Start New Submission.” Upload a Word or PDF document\, including any images within the document. After uploading your file\, select “Proposal” as the submission type and follow the on-screen instructions. Please write to contactrhr@gmail.com if you encounter any technical difficulties or have any other questions. \nBy June 15\, 2024\, authors will be notified whether they should submit a full version of their article for peer review. The due date for completed articles will be in September 2024. Those articles selected for publication after the peer review process will be included in issue 154 of the Radical History Review\, scheduled to appear in January 2026.

SUMMARY:PFN - Talk Vomit Seeking Submissions on: Girlhood
DESCRIPTION:THEME: Our summer edition’s theme is girlhood\, however you interpret that. \nWe now manage submissions through our Google Form\, linked here. \nThe details: \n\nNon-fiction under 4\,000 words\, fiction under 2\,000\, and poetry just generally kept to a minimum\nPlease submit one prose piece or two poems.\nTurnaround times vary. Expect a response within approximately one month of submissions closing.\nTalk Vomit believes wholeheartedly in simultaneous submissions and raises their eyebrows at places that don’t. BUT\, if your piece is accepted elsewhere\, please email talk@talkvomit.com as soon as you can. If you don’t\, it stands to be quite embarrassing for both of us.\n\nSome stuff we particularly like: \n\nGothic stories. Not high fantasy stuff\, usually\, but moody and atmospheric pieces that take a microscope to the underbelly of our communities and relationships\nFlash satire\nEssays that weave first-person with cultural criticism; essays with a fresh coming-of-age narrative (one can come of age at many times in their life\, in many ways; Monica is currently particularly interested in coming-of-age stories related to motherhood\, fwiw)\nCultural criticism\, in general\nBook reviews\, especially those in the 300-600 word range — unless you’re baking in some first-person narrative and lengthier criticism. If that’s the case\, follow our general nonfiction word limit.\nSerial stories. Feel free to pitch one at talk@talkvomit.com. Let’s get Dickensian about it.\n\nAt the end of the day\, we’re curating each quarterly to fit a theme and meet our editorial needs. We say no to a lot of a solid pieces that we simply don’t have room for. Don’t hesitate to submit to the next round if your piece is not accepted. \nIf your piece is a thinly-veiled homage to Lolita\, we will delete it without response. Read something else. \nPayment: We’re very pleased to pay our contributors thanks to print zine sales and supporters of our Substack. Our rates are DIY-zine rates\, but we hope they will increase. Fiction and nonfiction run in the $10-30 range; poetry in the $5-15 range. The rate will be higher for print exclusives. We issue honraria via Venmo and PayPal.https://talkvomit.com/submissions/

SUMMARY:PFN - The Capilano Review Spring Writing Contest: "Environments"
DESCRIPTION:The Capilano Review is pleased to invite submissions to its Spring 2024 Writing Contest\, guest-judged by Renee Gladman. \nThere is an air moved in the open—in around the thing about us. Where we lived remained so\, though there were occasional changes\, what we called moves\, of change of place or how we were there\, would stay there and because I liked that\, lived there. \nThrough these words from visionary thinker and writer Lyn Hejinian (1941–2024)\, we understand that the lands we inhabit (be they grasses\, cities\, paragraphs\, days\, our own bodies) exist in a constant state of flux\, moving as we move\, changing as we change\, all the time being made and unmade\, being seen and unseen. In writing with and about the environments that encompass us\, we form a relationship of drifts\, contortions\, and intimacies that shape the narratives of our experiences into speculations of care and wonder. This is a call for your meditations\, your forensics\, your elegies\, your wanderings on the possibilities of ongoing and intersecting geographies. How do we write an evolving ecology that supports mutability? What will be the future forms of our habitations? Lyric essays\, fiction\, poetry\, and other language-based interdisciplinary works are encouraged. \nThe winner will receive a $500 cash prize and publication in an upcoming print issue of The Capilano Review. The winner will be announced in August 2024. \nSubmission Guidelines \n\nSubmission period: April 15–May 15\, 2024\nWork must be original and previously unpublished\nSubmit up to 6 pages of poetry\, prose\, or other short experimental forms (PDF or Word formats only)\nAll entries will be considered anonymously. Please do not include your name or other identifying fields on your manuscript pages\nSimultaneous submissions are accepted\, but please notify us immediately if your work is accepted for publication elsewhere so that we can remove your entry from the contest\n\nSubmission Fees*\n$25 for Canadian entries** \n$35 for US/International entries \n*Submission fee includes a complimentary one-year subscription to The Capilano Review.\n**Note: Submission fee is waived for Indigenous entrants. Please email contact@thecapilanoreview.com directly for alternate instructions to submit your work.

DESCRIPTION:Ache is excited to announce the opening of submissions for our new anthology Fit Notes: feminist writing on illness and work which will explore the intersections of illness\, bodies and work\, to be published in 2024.\nFor this book-length anthology\, we are seeking writing submissions to fill ten slots. We are accepting submissions of:\n\n\nFiction (2\,500 words max)\n\n\nCreative non-fiction (2\,500 words max)\n\n\nPoetry (3 poems max)\n\n\nWe are looking for work that explores the themes of illness and work in varied and interesting ways. We are particularly interested in reading work from writers who identify as working class.\nSickness is an unavoidable part of life\, whether we live with chronic health conditions or are knocked by brief bouts of illness. In a society that prioritises our ability to take up and maintain paid work\, it is inescapable that our bodies and our illnesses are also intrinsically tied to work. We are measured by our capacity for work\, an inability to engage in work-related activities renders us ineffectual as individuals whilst acts of labour outside of this traditional sense of work — the labour of care\, domesticity\, love\, parenthood\, craft — are devalued and discarded.\nIn Fit Notes\, we aim to explore work beyond the scope of its traditional and constrictive conceptions and explore how work relates to the body\, to illness\, and to life.\nWhen we consider this\, we might ask: How does work relate to the body? How do we reckon with the devaluing of the unpaid labour of care\, domestic activities or parenthood in relation to ourselves? What does it mean to rest? What does work mean to you? Is work making you sick? Are you sick of not being able to work? How do we find value in ourselves when we are told that our worth is measured against our bodies as machines of production and profit? Why is our capacity to work determined by those external to ourselves? Where do we find joy in our craft and our lives outside of the domain of productivity?\nWe reject constrictive notions of work and are open to receiving writing and art that explores these ideas both within and outside of the traditional conceptions of work\, illness and rest. We are not restricted by form and are excited by experimental and versatile pieces of writing that reflect broadly on this theme.\nPayment:\nContributors will be paid a flat fee of £60 \nfor work published\, inclusive of each piece of prose or set of poems.\nA note on our fee: Ache is a publishing project run by unpaid editors who live with chronic health conditions. We currently receive no external funding\, and every sale goes back into paying writers\, artists and printers. \nIf the fee for Fit Notes isn’t suitable for you\, we completely understand and wish you luck placing your writing elsewhere. With every publication\, we work towards paying contributors more and in the near future hope to secure funding to increase the fees we can offer writers and artists. Thank you for your understanding.\nSubmission Guidelines:\nPlease read all of our guidelines below before submitting to our call-out.\n\n\nSubmission form: send us your work via this Fit Notes Submissions Form between May 1 – 15 2024.\n\n\nWhen uploading your submission file as a Word Doc or PDF (for poetry only) please include your full name\, submission type and the title of your piece in the file name: NAME_POETRY_TITLE\n\n\nWe cannot accept submissions that haven’t been sent via this form. But if you have trouble accessing the form please get in touch: helloachemagazine@gmail.com\n\n\n\n\nPlease send no more than one piece in this submission window (we will accept up to 3 poems).\n\n\nUnfortunately\, we are not interested in receiving academic essays or heavily referenced texts for this publication. We are interested in prose that explores these themes both in a personal context and more broadly with no limitations on genre or form provided the piece has literary merit.\n\n\n\n\nWe accept simultaneous submissions but please let us know as soon as possible if your piece has been accepted elsewhere. We are unable to accept previously published writing.\n\n\n\n\nTime frame: Ache is run by a small team of unpaid volunteers who live with chronic health conditions. We will aim to respond to all submissions within 3 months but unfortunately can’t give feedback on submissions at this time.\n\n\nTake a look at Cusp\, our previous anthology\, to get an idea of the format of Fit Notes.\n\n\nThank you for your interest in Ache’s next publication. We sincerely appreciate your time and we are grateful you have chosen to share your writing with us.
