Over its 50-year history, CV2 has had the privilege of providing dozens of writers with their first print publications, and this year, as we celebrate this milestone anniversary for the magazine, we hope to support a fresh wave of emerging poets in the same way.
Submit as many haiku as you please on the season word “Perseids.”
We invite poem submissions on the theme of “Recovering Greenness”.
Here, we know words are not inanimate. They live, they evolve, and they change. More so, words have the power to live in us, evolve us, and create change in our communities. Let us do this work together. Let’s tell the stories of our community, together, one word at a time.
Send no more than 3 previously unpublished poems on the theme of "Magic".
We view this theme as a space for opening portals, to lift the underbelly of deep meaning which swims below the surface and haunts the layers of each word.
We are looking for work that embodies the act of whelving—the quiet burying, the gentle covering, the things hidden just beneath the surface. Autumn is a season of holding in, of golden beauty edged with retreat. Send us your best pieces that speak to fall’s glow and the hush that follows, stories and poems that explore what we protect, what we bury, and what refuses to stay hidden.
We aim to center writers and artists who have been marginalized and underrepresented, or historically misrepresented, and encourage submissions that engage with issues of racial, social, economic, gender, and environmental justice.
As usual, we are looking for writing on your own choice of theme that grabs our attention, pulls our heart strings, leaves us open-mouthed or holding our breath, makes us think, make us laugh or cry, and/or is strikingly original.
Theme (“Dragon Hoards”) is not a strict requirement. The theme is preferred but not strictly enforced.
We are eager to publish firsthand experiences by those living with a disability, reflections of the author’s personal experiences with societal justices towards illnesses, and the after-effects of discrimination on an author’s identity and sexuality.
Our goal is to share the work of amazing creators with the world.
Tell us your stories of home. You can write about nostalgic summer days, but also about wishing for a home you never had. Or the home you want to make. Home is a complicated subject, let’s dig in.
Through this special call, Tab Journal encourages poets to reconsider Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration and Thomas Paine’s preceding Common Sense that had popularized these concepts.
Although the essay holds the central role at DPA, we are open to other genres, including experimental, poetry and flash non-fiction, as long as there is a first-person point of view.
We want the rubber band taut. We want resistance. We want your focus on the gap between where you are and where you want to be, the longing for home, or the need to get away.
In this first-ever anthology, Capture This will take a look at a snapshot of someone’s life, whether it’s the daily routine of an accountant, the ignition of a love story between two paranormal beings, the first day as an intergalaxy spy named Phoebe, or the day a life changed for the better–or worse.
Our themes are always open to far-fetched interpretations and are not limited to a narrow definition. Don't hold back, surprise us by submitting your finest work!
Poems must be on the theme of ‘dreams’ and we look forward to your interpretations.
Spooky season is almost here, so it's time for tales of ghosts, hunters & ghost-hunters, stalkers & predators, sinister treasure-hunts & haunted houses - take the theme & RUN with it!
