'The Soliloquist Journal' seeks submissions of poems and soliloquies for Fall 2025 issue

 

Theme for Fall 2025 issue: "Voices in Transition”

This theme explores moments of change, transformation, and evolution in our
personal and collective experiences - whether it's seasonal transitions, life
phases, social changes, or internal shifts in perspective.

 

Website: The Soliloquist Journal

 

SUBTHEMES:

  • Threshold Moments - Exploring those pivotal instances when one phase of life ends and another begins

  • Seasonal Metamorphoses - How natural cycles mirror personal transformation and growth

  • Geographies of Change - Physical relocations, migrations, and how place shapes identity

  • Generational Voices - Passing of wisdom, changing perspectives between age groups

  • Silent Transformations - Internal shifts that happen gradually and almost imperceptibly

  • Rituals and Rites - Ceremonies, traditions, and milestones that mark transition

  • Bridges and Boundaries - Crossing from one state of being to another

  • Echoes of Before - How past experiences reverberate through periods of change

  • Emergence - The moment when something new comes into being or consciousness

  • Inherited Change - How transformation gets passed down through families, cultures, or communities
