Call for Submissions on Theme of "Center of Gravity": About Place Journal

All submissions are due by October 15, 2022

Center of Gravity

Justice is the center of gravity and resistance is how we get there.

While the fight for social justice, reproductive rights, and the environment has been an ongoing struggle, the present moment demands an even more urgent response to these grievous times. As James Baldwin reminds us, “the role of the artist…is to illuminate that darkness [and] to make the world a more human dwelling place.” In this light, we invite submissions of poetry, prose and visual art that explore the possibilities of resistance and collective democratic world building, envisioning worlds in which achieving justice is a reality.

We are particularly interested in submissions that engage with the various centers of gravity concerning voting, reproductive rights, and trans rights, making black lives matter, healthcare, inequality, and their intersections with the environment and autonomy. In particular, we ask how acts of resistance might rebuild our human and nonhuman dwelling places while creating resilient systems of authentic community.
