We here at The Suburban Review are celebrating our tenth birthday (as a journal—we are not all ten years old). So, to commemorate this tender age, the persistence it’s taken to get here, and our intent to continue long into the future, we’ve chosen a determinedly decadal theme for issue #32: TENACITY!
We want stories that hold us tightly and don’t let go (tenere, ‘to hold’); poems that make of a fleeting moment something firm, steadfast, resilient; essays with the rigor required to follow a thought however far it may lead. And don’t forget tenacity’s etymological cousin, ‘tend’ (tendere, ‘to stretch’)—we want comics that swerve off in strange ways, photos that stretch style and form, and artworks whose attention to a single image is so close and tenacious as to become a kind of prayer. Or just, like, send us things featuring the number ten.
Submissions are open until 11:59 p.m. (AEDT) Wednesday 1 November 2023!
The Suburban Review accepts previously unpublished work. We allow simultaneous submissions. If it’s been accepted elsewhere just email us at thesuburbanreview@gmail.com with “Withdrawing submission” as your subject line.
