10 PLACES TO SUBMIT YOUR POEMS

CHAOS ANTHOLOGY: AGBOWÓ
For its 2021 issue, Agbowó is accepting submissions on the theme – Chaos. They seek literary and visual art that contemplate or describe the chaotic. Is there an inherent utility to chaos? Isn’t it paradoxical that our internal chaoses persist in an increasingly ordered world? They want stories from the viewpoint of the outsider that inform about the subjectivity of order and they won’t begrudge work that responds to the theme with chaotic forms – the poem that leads nowhere, the story that leads everywhere. 
 
Deadline: April 30, 2021
