Poetry - Call for submissions - the engine(idling magazine - Theme: The Slant
Call for Submissions for Issue 2!
We are now seeking submissions for Issue 2.
The theme is: The Slant, as in …
“ Tell all the truth but tell it slant —”
Poems that explore the associations and connections of a unique mind. The poet’s eye. A perspective that only the individual could conjure. Worlds, experiences, thoughts, and events cast in a new and distinct light. Poems that focus on the strength of voice and personality. Poems that tinker with language, imagery, and unfamiliarity. We want a peek behind the curtain, to see how the poet sees.
The theme is very loose and open to interpretation. The poem’s subject can be anything, as long as it is told slant.
Overall, we are looking for writing that is arresting, musical and absorbing. We champion originality, inventiveness, word-smithing, vivid imagery, and bold leaps.
Subs will be open until March 1, 2024.
