Send us fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that implicates us in your misdeeds, that compels us to stand up for you in critical moments, that traces the scars you never deserved. Send us visual art and photography that shines a light on things we wish we had not seen, that unearths the hidden memories of otherwise ordinary corners of the world. Send us work that testifies to a personal experience beyond the boundaries of your being. We can’t wait to see what you share with us.
