An online journal of poetry and prose produced by Pratt Institute’s MFA in Writing, The Felt is interested in the creation and cultivation of emancipatory poetic spaces for felt sentiments that have been marginalized, displaced, or estranged from the dominant culture. The Felt is an intricate entanglement unlimited in every direction. It strives to publish disobedient and daring work that invites departure, resistance, engagement, and the collaborative, tender-hearted making of new knowledge.
For its inaugural issue, The Felt seeks
- language-based poetics
- image-based poetics
- experiments in prose
- otherworldly poetics
- sound
- performative poetics
- speculative fiction
- activist and critical poetry
- collaborations
- translations
- theoretical work
- creative non-fiction
- fictional essay
- imagined conversations
- tender mechanics
- multi-genre hybrids
- animated gifs
- something spacey
- the limitless ether of “etc”
Simultaneous submissions are accepted. All rights revert to the author upon publication. Submit through The Felt’s Submittable.
Deadline: January 1, 2016.
