10th Issue Call for Submissions:
pluck! The Journal of Affrilachian Arts & Culture is now accepting
submissions for its 10th issue themed, "The Lost Ones." In the wake of
the Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman case, the editors wish to dedicate
this issue to his memory as well as grieve for other instances of loved
ones being lost to senseless violence. We invite prose that thoughtfully
and candidly examines the causes and consequences of violent acts
charged with discrimination. We invite poetry that celebrates/mourns the
lives of lost loved ones individually or collectively. We invite
digital collage and photography which interprets our theme visually. All
submissions will be considered for both print and web editions of the
issue.
