Carmina Magazine - Fiction
(Poetry)
Description
Note: remove identifying information from manuscript for anonymous judging.
We are looking for creative pieces inspired by mythology: epic-style poems, modern versions of ancient tales, stories and poems that re-imagine mythological people and places, retellings, reworkings, and rewritings of old fairy tales, folk tales, fables, and anything and everything in-between. The mythology of all backgrounds, cultures, and time periods is welcome here, as are all genres and creative forms. We accept original poetry, prose, art, photography, and more. Our only main "requirement" is that the work owes some seed of inspiration to a mythological tradition.
