For this year's contest, we want submitters to go wild--or domesticated, or sentient, or whatever other form of beastly you're feeling. In other words: we're seeking work from any and all genres that involves non-human living creatures in some way, shape, or form.
Tupelo Quarterly seeks to cultivate dialogue between the arts. With that in mind, we would love to consider works that exist at the boundaries of genres and disciplines.
We are seeking poems that celebrate the beauty of nature or speak to any personal or collective experience regarding the natural environment.
We share work here representative of shared human values, however differently those values might be expressed in our various religions and cultures.
We are fascinated by it. We fear it. We need it to live. Without it, we die. We spill it for love and country. It binds us together. It tears us apart.
This issue is open to retellings and new ideas in the old mythology style; when superpowered beings are involved, anything can happen.
Water has the power to change landscapes, it can soothe and frighten us, but one thing is for sure, we can’t live without it.
A woman is never too old to enjoy it. Or to enjoy reading, writing, or making art about it. Send us your erotica – your musings on erotica – your memories of erotic moments – actual or imagined.
Whether it’s the pride of democratic success or a whimsical caution about electoral choices, we encourage you to submit stories that explore the ironies of democracy.
While the theme and title of this issue is ‘Bodies’ we encourage you to interpret it creatively.
We are looking for powerful, astounding, stories that will make people say "wow" or give them chills. This book is for everyone, whether religious or non-religious.
What do you do to think positive and how did it change your life? Tell us your success story about using the power of thinking positive!
Your story or poem doesn’t have to be about the three elements or even revolve around them; simply use your imagination to create whatever you want.
Submissions must include something about retirement / semi-retirement / stopping employment.
Displacement can be anything from physical displacement (moving, emigrating, exile) to estrangement or emotional or spiritual shifts.
There may be a sense of “be careful what you wish for”. Or is the good news a trace of hope in a bleak time? Perhaps those elements of our lives for which we should be grateful?
We are looking for work that is sensitive, thought-provoking, intelligent, and humorous. We encourage artistic expression that portrays depth in characterization & ideas and exhibits a nuanced perspective of the mundane.
Send us your long-sighted, large-hearted, reverent/irreverent calls to arms.
