Conjunctions

After 33 years of being published by Bard College, Conjunctions will finish its tenure in spring 2025. With Bard's support, Conjunctions is beginning to fundraise for an independent future! Read the joint announcement here: buff.ly/3AGo4Df

@brecht_dp We Love All We Voices will include many types of language-centric work, so if you don't have a piece you'd consider to be vernacular, that's okay too!

From November 27 – December 15, @_conjunctions will be open for submissions for a special issue "We Love All We Love Voice", in which vernacular writing will be explored as an agent of its own authenticity.

We're leaving for bluer waters. 🌊🌊🌊 Follow us at conjunctions.bsky.social !
