Splinter Journal - Fiction
(Poetry) (Nonfiction)
Description
Note: one submission per writer.
We are looking for writing that picks apart all the ways reality has been shattered, illuminates the shining threads of it that remain unbroken, and hints at the ways we’ll start putting it all back together.
Our long-term goal is to mill around in the endless circles of these questions:
How did we get here, into the middle of this chaos?
Where are we? What does this place and time mean?
And where do we go from here?
You don’t need to address these questions directly in your writing, but please think about how your idea brushes up against these prompts.
