Call for Scholarly Essays on Genre and Form
What does it mean when poetry and prose are indistinguishable? What is lost - or found - in translation? When literary form is entirely fluid, what is the relationship between art and criticism? Between the creative and the scholarly?
While we are particularly seeking essays that explore the relationships between genre and form in situations where both are indeterminate or unapparent, we are open to scholarly essays that intersect with these questions generally or that explore specific works. Essays might explore the current relevance (or irrelevance) of the aesthetic, the literary, or the rhetorical. The deadline for submission for the first issue is August 30. After that, we will continue reading for our second issue.
Please send up to 8,000 words (or up to 30 pages of double-spaced prose) in accordance with The Chicago Manual of Style to:
