"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Friday Call for Submissions Love! Sonder Review

The Sonder Review Seeks Submissions of Fiction, Nonfiction, and Art

Submissions accepted year-round.

 

“The Sonder Review is currently seeking submissions of fiction, creative nonfiction, and art. We believe in prose that strikes and sparks. Words raw and shuddering and unabashed. Language both spare and piercing, delicately and deliberately crafted. We believe in storytelling that is innovative and daring, precise and oddly angled. Writing which shows us the bizarre and magical and profound; which shows us a self we have never seen and truth we have never known. But above all, we want fresh and ringing voices. Words that must be heard.”

Please visit their website for our submissions guidelines and past issues. www.sonderreview.com

Sometimes the Prompt Is How We Connect

Daily Prompt

Building the first issue of HeartWood 🙂 So excited to be part of bringing these beautiful words out into the world. Thinking about how art lets connect in ways unlike anything else, how it lets us reach across space, across time, across history, and commune with each other.

Communion defined: the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental, emotional, or spiritual level.

Make art about communion. Or about art as communion.
