Calling for submissions to Issue #32’s Special Feature “Hope Is a Discipline.” This year, amidst the struggle our community faces in fighting back against oppression, we have chosen the theme of our special feature in homage to Mariame Kaba’s work in transformative justice. We take the title of our special feature from Kaba’s documented interview in “Hope Is a Discipline,” in which she reflects on wisdom once received from a nun regarding hope, “The hope that she was talking about was this grounded hope that was practiced every day, that people actually practiced all the time.” For our upcoming issue, we want your art, fiction, non-fiction, hybrid work, and scripts that show us how you and or your community turn hope into an active practice. From culinary traditions that nourish the fire in your belly to essays on protest – show us what it means to you to make hope into a discipline.

Creative nonfiction submissions should be 1 piece of long-form creative nonfiction (maximum 25 pages, though our sweet spot is 2,000-4,000 words) OR up to 3 flash/lyrical pieces (up to 1,000 words each).
