Issue 20 Calls for Submissions
In Issue 20, we are exploring the themes of sound and melody. We are inspired by Robert Frost:
“He would declare and could himself believe
That the birds there in all the garden round
From having heard the daylong voice of Eve
Had added to their own an oversound,
Her tone of meaning but without the words.”
—From “Never Again Would Birds’ Song Be the Same”
Ideas we would love to see explored include:
- What is the most frightening sound you've ever heard?
- What is the most glorious sound you've ever heard?
- How is nature the ultimate musician?
- Do you remember the first song that ever struck a chord in your soul?
- What do you suppose the last word to ever be spoken by a human will be?
- Can a body in motion be a melody, too?
- How can silence sometimes be the loudest sound of all?
- What sounds soothe your soul? From small arias like the clink of a spoon while stirring coffee, or the roll of a marble over the ground, to grand hymns, like thunder?
- Where do you go, or what do you do, to escape the noise of your own consciousness?
- How do you find harmony in the chaotic clamor of humanity?
We accept fiction, nonfiction, visual art, and poetry of all flavors, from free verse to found. We are also interested in submissions that include raven artwork.
Submissions will be accepted until June 15th, 2024. To see our submission guidelines, please visit us at: http://www.youngravensliteraryreview.org/
