PFN – Potomac Review Seeking Submissions on: The Unseen
Just as self implies other, the seen implicates the unseen. Much can be seen and understood, but there is an ever-vanishing horizon, and the other, and the unseen, call into this future.
Most events are installed on their deadline date, unless there is a long submission window or unless it's a rolling submission.
