Book of Matches - Poetry (Fiction) (Nonfiction)



Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.

Note: one submission per reading period.
Note: if accepted, please wait an issue before submitting again.

In an age dominated by our worst tendencies for tribalism, it is more important than ever to celebrate the best in humanity through the very real magic of words. Book of Matches is always interested in protest—interested in protest against the unknowing alive in human existence, in protest against the knowing, too. In essence, Book of Matches both celebrates what burns against the dark, and the assurance of how little it illuminates before going out. Send us your most meaningful lies, your real lives, and the poetry of both that we may see a bit more clearly the stormy seas around us all.
