Reckoning 8 Submission Call<\/h1>\n

For\u00a0Reckoning 8<\/em>, we want thinking and writing about \u2026 this. All of this, right now. We want to hear about active resistance to the patriarchofascist, corporate-captured extractive state. Show us what it means that in order to build Cop City*<\/a><\/span>, a massive facility intended to train a new generation of lethal enforcers into an institution directly descended from slave patrols, the state of Georgia and its actors must first level a forest and label protestors \u201cdomestic terrorists\u201d as a precursor to murdering them. Help us understand how strategies of repression and control all over the world concentrate agency in the hands of the few at the expense of all other life. We are looking for work in opposition to a broad, insidious fascism that treats water, trees, and bodies as exploitable, expendable resources rather than sacred, essential components of our global, infinitely interconnected and interdependent web of life.<\/p>\n

We are always seeking work from Indigenous writers and artists,\u00a0racialized<\/a>\u00a0writers and artists, queer, trans and\/or disabled writers and artists, and anyone, anywhere in the world, who has suffered the consequences, intended or otherwise, of dominant society\u2019s systemic disconnect with and mistreatment of the natural world. And we\u2019re seeking new ways to reach all of the above. Seriously, if you know of a way we can do that,\u00a0please share<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t publish ecofascism or work we perceive to be prejudiced in any form, including sexism, racism, ableism, ageism. We reserve the right to point it out\u2014respectfully\u2014when we see it, though we\u2019re as prone to mistakes and misunderstanding as anyone else.\u00a0Here\u2019s a start on a list of what else doesn\u2019t work for us.<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Poetry<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Our interests in poetry tend towards the narrative, preferably with some thematic heft. We\u2019re open to long poems, short poems, hybrid\u00a0art<\/a>\/poetry, and all kinds of formalism.\u00a0 Length: 0 \u2013 10 pages (query<\/a> for longer). Payment: $50 (US)\/page.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Fiction<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n
\n

The fiction we publish is mostly, but not exclusively, speculative. We appreciate surreal and experimental pieces as well as strong plotting, but prefer writing that doesn\u2019t lean too far into pulp. Length: 0 \u2013 20,000 words (query<\/a>\u00a0for longer). Payment: 10 cents (US)\/word.<\/p>\n

\n

Creative Nonfiction<\/h4>\n<\/header>\n
\n

The essays we publish tend to be more creative than journalistic; we like at least a bit of narrative with our information.\u00a0Length: 0 \u2013 20,000 words (query<\/a> for longer). Payment: 10 cents (US)\/word.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Deadline for Reckoning 8<\/em>\u00a0is the solar equinox, September 22, 2023.<\/p>","excerpt":"
