Union Spring Literary Review - Poetry (Fiction) (Nonfiction)



Description
Union Spring seeks work from the heart that takes aim straight at our particular moment. We want writing that comes from out of nowhere, maybe inside of you, to say something big about this daring, windblown world.

During this calamitous period of collapsing divisions, we've got Benedict Spinoza on our minds - so give us work that speaks to, echoes, or compliments Spinoza's theory of Concedo Nulli, Latin for “I yield to none.” We are always looking through different filters to determine on the large-scale: what is it to be a writer in the 21st Century, and how does resistance appear in your work?
