We take the title of our special feature from Kaba\u2019s documented interview in \u201cHope Is a Discipline,\u201d in which she reflects on wisdom once received from a nun regarding hope, \u201cThe hope that she was talking about was this grounded hope that was practiced every day, that people actually practiced all the time.\u201d For our upcoming issue, we want your poetry, fiction, non-fiction, hybrid work that show us how you and or your community turn hope into an active practice. From culinary traditions that nourish the fire in your belly to essays on protest \u2013 show us what it means to you to make hope into a discipline.<\/p>\n<section id=\"comp-lohwxrgj\" class=\"Oqnisf comp-lohwxrgj wixui-section\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-block-level-container=\"ClassicSection\" aria-label=\"main content\">\n<div class=\"\" data-mesh-id=\"comp-lohwxrgjinlineContent\" data-testid=\"inline-content\">\n<div data-mesh-id=\"comp-lohwxrgjinlineContent-gridContainer\" data-testid=\"mesh-container-content\">\n<div id=\"comp-ir01updp\" class=\"Z_l5lU ku3DBC zQ9jDz qvSjx3 Vq6kJx comp-ir01updp wixui-rich-text\" data-testid=\"richTextElement\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">Submission Guidelines:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">All written submissions must be in .doc or .docx file format (Microsoft Word or Open Office files)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Cover letter should include, at minimum, contact information and third-person bio (max 3-5 sentences)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">If you have questions about the status of your submission, please contact us at\u00a0<span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"><a class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\" href=\"mailto:hills@sfsu.edu\" target=\"_self\">hills@sfsu.edu<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\">Writers and artists may submit only once, in a single genre, per submission period<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">\n<p class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"><span class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\">For artwork: Please label each image with your last name and and in the order which you want us to view them.
