SUMMARY:P - Litmag Subs are Open for the engine(idling. The theme is: The Urge
DESCRIPTION:… as in the many faces of “the feminine urge” — to cave-dwell or home-make\, towards tenderness or violence\, giddiness or belligerence\, nurturing or devouring\, and so on. \nWe’d like to explore a full spectrum of “the female experience\,” and especially showcase her inner world. What makes her tick? What’s behind the mask and under her skin? Which desires and urges are rarely spoken but always just below the surface? \nWhile this sub call does focus on women\, we welcome subs from everyone. We’re not here to make it weird or police identity. It’s your art we’re after. If your work is resonant\, heartfelt\, and challenging\, it can find a home here. \nIf you need a little kick-start\, here’s some things we’re thinking about: “feral women\,” the beauty privilege/tax\, girlhood and sisterhood\, frenemies and rivals\, Munch’s The Scream (1893)\, witchy sewing circles\, Angela Ball’s “Difficult Daughters\,” Kārlis Padegs’ Madonna with the Machine Gun (1932)\, Bernini’s The Ecstasy of St. Theresa (1652)\, Miss Daisy Fay Buchanan meets Candy Darling\, Millais’ Ophelia (1851–2)\, The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)\, PJ Harvey’s To Bring You My Love (1995)\, Fatal Attraction (1987)\, the daily schedule of a 1950’s housewife\, Guides to Female Etiquette and Dress\, shoulder pads and power suits and traveling pants\, Tori Amos’ Boys for Pele (1996)\, Jane Austen and the girls of gothic fiction\, the Wilson Sisters via The Virgin Suicides (1999)\, the trappings and joys of motherhood\, Sharp Objects (2018)\, Victorian hysteria\, the Dancing Plague of 1518\, Snapped (2004-)\, Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper (1892)\, Mary Toft in 1726\, Angela’s dance to Bauhaus’ Stigmata Martyr in 1988’s Night of the Demons [Video clip has a strobe effect]\, Walter Gramatté’s Tired Woman (1923)\, the art of Mary Cassatt and Artemisia Gentileschi and Ramon Casas\, Otto Dix’s The Nun (1914) … \nFeel free to get dark\, get complicated\, and say the quiet things aloud. \nWe are looking forward to reviewing your work! \nBe sure to include your address in your submission so that we can send you free swag as a thanks. We’ll send anywhere. For Issue 7 we are sending out art postcards that double as bookmarks. \n_______ \nIf you are able to do so\, we ask that you please report your submissions on Duotrope and / or Chill Subs. We are listed with both sites. \n  \nTo Submit\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo submit\, please email 1 – 4 poems to the editor at engineidling@gmail.com. \nYou may send poems as a .docx\, .pdf\, or copy / paste them into the body of the email. \n\n\n\n\nFormat\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor written works\, please use a standard font.  We can accommodate some specialized formatting like white space using tabs and indents. However\, shape poems or poems with very specific spatial needs usually don’t work out. \nIf your poem is more than a single page\, please indicate whether or not there is a stanza break at the page break(s).

SUMMARY:N - Friends Journal Seeking Submissions on the Theme: What do we believe?
DESCRIPTION:Fast Facts \n\nFeatures run 1200-2500 words.\nQuestions? Email editors@friendsjournal.org\nLearn more general information at Friendsjournal.org/submissions.\n\nOne of the most googled searches about Friends is “What do Quakers believe?” It’s the theme of our upcoming December 2025 issue and a very reasonable question that is surprisingly hard to answer both simply and accurately. We try\, only to find ourselves devolving into history lessons or hedging our answers with weak phrases like “for me…” or “for my type of Friend…” Once upon a time\, not so long ago really\, a certain kind of confident Friend might give answers that applied to one’s own yearly meeting’s Quaker experience\, but in an age of instant communication and easy world travel\, it seems rather arrogant to claim any one of us can actually speak for the global diversity of Friends. \nOn the other hand\, is it its own kind of tyranny to demand we find commonalities? What’s wrong with having a subset of Friends that holds a clearly defined identity? The many schisms among Friends\, past and present\, attest to strong\, well-articulated beliefs that their adherents felt were essential to Quakerism as they understood it. \nQuakers began with a critique of creeds—those succinct\, easily memorized statements of faith that make most churches’ doctrine clear and tidy. What we believe has always been a slippery question\, made more so by divisions and conflict within our religious society. Is this history all that ties us together today? \nHow do you answer this question? Have you found a way to describe our beliefs that covers most if not all Quakers? Do you answer with classic principles of Quakerism or with the varied practices of actual Friends in your area? All of us have different influences. How do we know which are part of our Quaker identity and which aren’t? Is it even a question to ask? And how in all this do we take into account those Friends whose beliefs differ from our own?
