"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 x 2: Malevolent Soap, Intersecting ‘High’ and ‘Low’ Culture

Malevolent Soap

Deadline: July 1, 2017

 

Malevolent Soap is an independent journal of poetry and fiction. We’re based in Melbourne, Australia, but our issues feature emerging and established voices from around the planet. We publish annually, in September. Anything goes, but we’re partial to work that explores intersections of ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture. Whether it invokes Nicolas Cage as muse or bemoans Rick Deckard’s overconsumption of MSG in verse, we’re interested.

Our debut issue is slated for release on September 1. Submissions are open until July 1. We pay $20 AUD per published piece.

To submit, visit the website malevolentsoap.com
