Tint Journal is also open for submissions in the same timeframe! It’s a THEMED call ✨ What does it mean to provide and receive nurture — the care and attention for someone or something that is growing or developing1 — in our contemporary fast-paced, growth-driven world? What did it mean for those who came before us? And, what might it mean for those who do not have a voice to make their needs and wants heard? How do we react and respond to being nurtured — by land, sea, sun, sky, by elders, idols, social workers, the stranger on the bus, by ourselves, by gardens and birds (to allude to Kinsella)? Are we aware of the acts of care and attention coming our way? With our current open call, we invite non-native English writers of all geographical and cultural backgrounds to challenge typical views of nurture, and open our eyes to the many forms that shape our societies and inter-species habitats. We invite them to reflect: Is the act of nurturing essentially one of love or passion, or might it also appear as something quite the opposite? When do we hold, and when are we being held? And, which motives drive us, and where will they lead us? Full details: https://tintjournal.com/submit/call-for-submissions 💜
