The Carrier Bag Magazine - Poetry
(Fiction)
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
Before there was the tool to fight with, there was the tool to bring things home. The Carrier Bag Magazine is a collective interested in the unique experiences of the mundane, the odd, and the forgotten. Drawing from Ursula K. Le Guin's essay “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction,” we aim to explore how the familiar is captured through writing.
