Call for Submissions: Hayden Ferry Review 2026 Spring Web Issue \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Aftercare turns its attention to what comes after intensity, crisis, or rupture, those moments when care, attention, and repair are needed most.<\/p>\n

Borrowing its name from the language of kink, the folio asks what it means to stay, to tend, to rebuild. We gather work that lingers in aftermath: the slow recalibration of breath, the tenderness of rebandaging a wound, the exhaustion and beauty of maintenance.<\/p>\n

We invite submissions of poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and hybrid forms that explore the politics of gentleness and repair, emotional, ecological, or communal, and the forms of attention that emerge once moments of intensity have passed.<\/p>\n

How can slowness, reciprocity, and rest operate as radical acts of survival?<\/p>\n

Works we are inspired by include\u00a0From \u201cThe World After Rain,\u201d II: Twice Awake<\/u><\/a>\u00a0by Canisia Lubrin,\u00a0Self-Compassion<\/u><\/a>\u00a0by James Crews,\u00a0When Eddie Levert Comes<\/u><\/a>\u00a0by Deesha Philyaw, and “Milk Blood Heat” by Dantiel W. Moniz.<\/p>\n
