We're interested in work that combines visual and literary techniques inventively, to create novel and engaging effects. Our aim is to publish work which is surprising, playful, and hard to categorise. If this sounds like you, please send your work to the email address below before 11:59pm on April 30th! Seperately, we're always open for submissions to our Trickhouse Film film-poetry series, which is hosted on YouTube.

A quote, black text on a plain white background. It says: “A fascinating exploration of how we make meaning, or seek meaning in patterns, shapes and coincidences - and how erratic the connections are between language, the natural world and unpredictable humans. Probing and playful, lingering and always refusing culmination.” The quote is attributed to Peter Mackay.
