Events

For this edition, send us something that makes you reflect and represents your growth.

This issue provides an opportunity to reflect on how health -- mind, body, and spirit -- limit, challenge, define or inspire our ability to feel free.

For some, sexual congruency might come naturally; for others, it might require a long process of unlearning shame, navigating societal pressures, or coming to terms with identity.

For our summer issue, we invite you to consider the particularities of the people and places you know and love. What might it mean for you/us to emulate the “settling down” of Christ?

For this edition, we’re embracing the allure of illusion and taking chances on castles in the sky. We’re interpreting Fata Morgana as something that makes your soul feel like it’s going 200 kph while your body stays still.

For this theme, we want a humanized yet nonhuman narrative: give us your work that blinds us and binds us, turns rivers into veins and thunder into circuitry. Build us a blueprint that cartographs the way to your True North.

Send us work for this issue about conflicts that transported you through the emotional spectrum between hope and despair and that left you without a feeling of which way to turn and/or to whom.

We're looking for fiction and poetry that takes its inspiration from the world around us, especially that which somehow engages with the current Phylum.

Allegro Poetry Magazine seeks to publish the best contemporary poetry.

Masque & Spectacle is a bi-annual arts and literary journal.

Show us the space around obsession: what leads to it? What happens when it fades? Take us to the brink of obsession.

What polarity lies at the heart of your story? In what ways does it manifest? What happens when the two sides of the polarity come into contact or conflict, or when one transforms into the other?

Bring us your new perspective, bring us the tide. Your submission doesn’t need to have ocean imagery.

Something we all have in common: getting older. How are you experiencing the phases of your life?

We want to hear about your school stories. Maybe these are childhood memories or maybe as a parent you have a new perspective on what it means to be a student these days. Or, maybe you are a teacher with some serious stories to share.

How have women in theology challenged traditional views, and what can we learn from their voices today? Let’s dive deep into the wisdom and influence of these pioneering women of faith.

Starting with the 2023 edition, we are nominating for the Pushcart Prize.

How you interpret the theme is up to you. We like stories that grab us from the beginning, make us think, and keep us enthralled, as well as essays and memoir with a strong voice and a unique point of view.

We invite you to join us in the radical act of creative freedom, to challenge constraint and to imagine liberation in both bold and quiet ways.
