Poor Yorick: A Journal of Rediscovered Objects brings back into light
the skeletons hidden in our cultural closets. The free online journal
welcomes writing and other creative productions about lost objects and
images of material culture: sculptures and paintings in the back rooms
of museums or in hidden corners of public spaces; murals forgotten in
plain view; lost photographic archives and restored films; newly
discovered letters or manuscripts; knickknacks in attics; oddities and
curiosities in misbegotten sideshows; forgotten stories that remind us
of pasts that we cannot afford to forget.
Poor Yorick invites submissions in any and every literary genre and any
electronically reproducible visual or audio medium. In addition to open
submissions, the journal’s editorial staff will occasionally identify a
particular historical object, collection, exhibit, etc., and call for
submissions inspired by the selected artifact or collection.
