Kenyon Review: “Visitation” Issue
Deadline September 30 (must be received by this date). Kenyon Review, the prestigious literary journal of Kenyon College, is open to poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction submissions during September. In addition to general submissions, they are reading for special features on the themes of Translation, Architecture, Lyric Essay, Cinema, and Visitation. This is a paying market. Editors say: "With 'Visitation' we are looking for writing which captures an impermanent experience of presence. A visitation might be a knock at the door, a funereal ritual, a brush with the otherworldly, a legal mandate, an act of wrath, a moment of union. Guest edited by Kenyon Review Fellow, Jennifer Galvão, this folio seeks to think about doors, borders, power, incarceration, and other institutions which divide or limit our time. We invite work that broadly interprets these themes. When you submit, you will have the option to identify your work for general submission or the themes." Send 1-6 poems, one story up to 7,500 words, or an essay up to 5,000 words.
