The Account: A Journal of Poetry, Prose, and Thought We ask writers to submit an account of the work they are sending us. Each issue also showcases contemporary art and criticism.

account = history, sketch, marker, repository of influences

An account of a specific work traces its arc—through texts and world—while giving voice to the artist’s approach. A biannual journal that showcases a range of contemporary works of poetry, prose, and criticism, along with artistic accounts written by the writers and artists featured. We ask that our writers send, along with their submis

sion, a brief (150-500 words) account of their aesthetic that conforms to the attached guidelines. Submissions are currently open: https://theaccountajournalofpoetryprosethought.submittable.com/submit

Debra Monroe has always written about the source of trouble, "that one incident you zero down to and everything bad that happens afterward happens because of it." The illusion that every problem has a clear-cut cause and discernible solution is apparently her gateway drug. It Takes a Worried Woman e...
