Submissions for Issue 12 will open June 15 and close August 15.
For this themed issue, we invite work engaging myth and legend in all their forms—from imagined and speculative worlds to local, familial, and cultural stories passed down through time. We’re interested in writing and art that considers how belief takes shape, and how stories continue to guide, trouble, or sustain us.
We welcome poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and visual art, and we especially encourage submissions that approach myth broadly: as fantasy or folklore, as inherited narrative, or as personal story held close.
