Call for Submissions: Poor Yorick: A Journal of Rediscovered Objects

Poor Yorick: A Journal of Rediscovered Objects welcomes year-round submissions of writing and other creative productions about lost and found 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; shipwrecks; unearthed treasures; forgotten stories that remind us of pasts that we cannot afford to forget.

We invite 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.

There is a $3 reading fee that goes toward costs associated with the journal, as well as toward our new monetary award for the year's best piece!

Check us out here.

Submissions are accepted via Submittable.
