CALL FOR PAPERS AND ART
We, STERLING SPORK, want your words, art, and other detritus. STERLING SPORK is a new literary publication based out of Florida, specializing in experimental literature, art, and nonfiction. We are tired of the sterilized hipness of modern literary magazines. We are looking for work (or play) that challenges both the author/artist and reader/spectator––work that falls in th
e cracks of form, genre, and convention. We wish to take Ezra Pound’s modernist dictum to heart: “Make it new!” However, modernism began over a hundred years ago, so this is no longer adequate. To remedy, we offer an alternative: “Make it NOW!” However, “Make it later!” would also be appropriate for procrastinators. Whatever works (or, preferably, doesn’t). There are many short stories in the world. There are almost as many magazines that publish short stories. Unfortunately, we are not one of those. However, we are interested in the following forms:
Nonfiction (scholarly and otherwise)
Poetry
Interviews
Visual art
Shopping lists
Reviews of books, art, or events
Impossible math equations
Uncontrollable exclamations
Plays
Short non-stories
Nonsensical diagrams
Manifestos
Family photographs
Instructions
Calls for papers
If your work doesn’t fit neatly into any of the above categories, consider it especially suitable for our magazine. Please send your submissions for Issue 1 to [email protected] no later than February 1st, 2017.
