Barzakh Magazine, an annual online literary magazine housed in SUNY Albany's English Department, has extended its open submission period through Feb 1, 2019. All submissions this month are fee-free.
For more information, and to read our 2018 issue, please visit our website.
What we’re looking for:
By defining ourselves as an “isthmus,” a space of crossings and connectivity, between histories, articulations, and media—we hope to make these frontiers a site of inquiry and revitalization. We want your fiction, poetry, criticism, personal essays, translations, drawings, photographs—that push against complacent taxonomies and forge new paths.
For Barzakh’s 10th anniversary issue we are looking for previously unpublished creative and critical work that illuminates and explores the liminal spaces between aesthetic modes and fields, between tongues, and between histories. We especially seek works that engage with global and local crises and the acts of resistance that galvanize in response to them. Past issues of interest for submitted work have included:
·Race, police brutality, and protest in the era of Black Lives Matter
·The gendering, policing, and space of bodies
·Immigrant and refugee dislocation and dehumanization
·Rights and responsibilities of speech
·Traumas, hauntings, and healings across time
As always, we welcome submissions beyond these specific themes.
Full guidelines available here.
Please submit your work via Submittable.
Simultaneous submissions are welcome, but let us know immediately if your piece is accepted elsewhere. Be sure to include a brief third-person biography in your cover letter to accompany your work should it be accepted. Barzakh is currently a non-paying market.
