ISSUE 05: Structures in Stone<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n


“The Earth is littered with the ruins of Empires that believed they were eternal.” \u2014 Camille Paglia<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n


In this issue, we invite poets to explore the history residing within the walls of buildings\u2014from temple gopurams and grand cathedrals to glorious minarets and forgotten fortresses. This can include explorations into monoliths, statues and other sculptures as well. We want your examinations of the cracks in between stones, the political weight carried by these physical spaces and their stories of oppression, resistance and reclamation. What happens when a structure is built to last, but the people it was meant to serve disappear? What stories do these walls say and most importantly, who gets to tell their history? Tell us about the ruins of an ancient temple in your native land or about the first house your family built. Tell us about the house your family lost.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We would love to see poetry used as\u00a0visual art,<\/span> as concrete poetry\/calligrams, as structures, as collapses. Get as creative or traditional as you like. If you want to submit architectures of poems, footnotes, physical notes, built structures, folded sheets, we’re all in. If you’re unable to fit your submission in the general submission form, feel free to email us and we’ll find a way to accommodate your visual poems. Such poems will be highly prioritized since this is an architecture-inspired issue. We are also open to receiving architectural sketches, project images as submissions. Visual art includes and is not limited to: collages, digital art, physical art, foam projects, wood based projects, paper folding projects, digital text based projects. These submissions can be sent via email in any format that is easy to send\/publish. For any questions, feel free to reach out to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
