Submit now! prisminternational.submittable.com/submit/345912/…

We highly encourage embodied writing about the land, lived experiences of Indigeneity in relation to land, and generational storytelling. Send us poetry, prose, or hybrid pieces that ground “earthkeeper” in the vividness of sensation, perception and reflection. Send us home.

You might look forwards towards imagined futures of earthkeeping, their possibilities and impossibilities. You might draw on memory and the past as a touchstone for such futures. You might ground your present moment in the great continuity of the land and the people it nurtures.

PRISM International invites submissions for its upcoming EARTHKEEPER issue 64.3, edited by Ayda Niknami and Zahra Mayeesha. Submissions close March 1st prisminternational.submittable.com/submit
