Notch Magazine
For this issue we’d like to invite you to consider currents. Please share your musings on the transfer of electrical charge, direct and alternating; poems that capture the scope of variable voltage; stories whose characters bristle with static; and music scores that translate the rhythm and pulse of electrical surges.
Currents in rivers are shaped by the depth of the water and the obstacles it meets in its path. Currents, vertical and horizontal, are also present in oceans; influenced by planetary rotations and variable water density. Wind itself is an air current—jet streams and breezes sweep along as temperature changes and pressure recalibrates.
Consider submitting paintings that drift like tides; textiles that hum with the quiet pull of a longshore current, tugging unknowingly along the edge of the coast; or photography that traces the wind's passage through a landscape. We would also like to see works that seize the bioelectric microamperes that fuel our spinal chords, hearts and brains—and make them dance.
We are less interested in personal essays. Essays exploring philosophical currents of thought from eras past are most welcome.
We accept all mediums–from operatic scores to tattoos to sonnets.
For writing: Pieces up to 1500 words are preferred. Longer work is considered on occasion.Works in translation are welcome.
For the visual & sonic: Please send a high resolution image, audio file, or link to your art. Artist statement optional.
Submissions close July 7, 2025.
Contributors will be compensated.
