Call for Submissions on Theme of "Gold": Fire Tetrahedron: Journal of Poetry & Art
Fire Tetrahedron: Journal of Poetry & Art is now accepting poetry, translations, artwork, and photography submissions for our Fall 2016 issue, a special issue focused on the theme of "gold."
Think about gold's history both as a metal and as a cultural object for people around the world. Humans have manipulated and forged it for millennia. At its heart, gold typifies the focus of Fire Tetrahedron: nature & culture twisting, shaping, & changing each other. Keep in mind, too, that creative license is encouraged, as with any theme. Even tenuous connections to “gold” may fit well in this issue.
Submission guidelines.
Check out our FB page.
Find us on Twitter: @FireTetrahedron
The submission deadline for the Fall 2016 issue is March 1st, 2016. Contributors receive one print or electronic copy of the issue in which their work appears.
We are excited to read and view your work!
