4LPH4NUM3R1C (ALPHANUMERIC) - Fiction
(Poetry)
Description
We're looking for speculative poetry and prose that work best when read out loud. Stuff that's unimpressive to the naked eye, but a treat for the naked ear. The kind of works that might fall flat on the page, but come alive with the right reader. Nouns that sing. Verbs that dance. Adjectives whose eyelids flutter. Adverbs that play the bongos while wearing a beret and cat-eye sunglasses. You know what we're saying.
