Reckoning - Fiction (Go to Poetry)
Description
This publication does not routinely close, deadlines mark the end of the call for a specific issue, but submissions sent after that date are considered for the next issue.
The short version: creative writing about environmental justice. Fiction preferably at least a tiny bit speculative, nonfiction preferably more creative than journalistic, poetry tending towards the narrative and preferably with some thematic heft, art your guess is as good as mine. But the heart of what we want is your searingly personal, visceral, idiosyncratic understanding of the world and the people in it as it has been, as it is, as it will be, as it could be, as a consequence of humanity’s relationship with the earth.
