Part of what we do here at The Reverie Journal is to tell you about opportunities to share your work.

Of course, we certainly hope you’ll still consider submitting with us for our  Write for Us. Submissions for the magazine and anthology are currently closed. Don’t forget our first Issue is coming out Oct. 9th.

Today let us introduce you to Contrary Magazine. This zine publishes fiction, poetry, and literary commentary. It “prefers work that combines the virtues of all those categories.” Submissions are accepted via web site. “Beautiful writing catches our eye first. If we realize we’re in the presence of unanticipated meaning, that’s what clinches the deal.” Deadline for Winter submission is Dec. 1st. For more information go here.

“Tips: All fiction must have a dark, surreal, fantastical bend to it. It should be out of the ordinary and/or experimental. Can also be contemporary. ”

Submission guidelines here.

Prelude To Zero (7) | Nate Maxson

Tamara Woods Leave a comment

Maybe I shouldn’t talk about the 20th century any more, maybe it’s all in the past but if it’s in the past then it’s possible that I, having been born as it ended, never stood a chance and am still in the past

Still expecting a happy ending though the only place that happens nowadays is in shady massage parlors, our happy ending is the moment one machine rams full speed into another

Hindenbergs in time like icebergs in the Mississippi river, all in time: the coastlines shriveling so I see Debussy’s ship escaping into the gray havens (one of the few fictional promises I can understand perhaps due to its inherent bitterness) never to touch an instrument (navigational or otherwise) again

Nate Maxson is a writer and performance artist. He is the author of several collections of poetry, most recently “The Age Of Jive” from Red Dashboard Press. He lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Sorry that the prompt is going up a bit later than usual. I’ve been having problems with my arm and haven’t been typing much at all.

Here’s that prompt though:

Write a poem about aging. You can talk about going from childhood to adulthood, from being a baby to being a toddler, the fear of aging…etc…the choice is yours.

Make sure to write it and either share on this post or link back to this post so we can read what you wrote.

Check out what each is doing and share! Let’s build this community. All links will be added to this year’s digest.

Also on Fridays we have  a conversation here at The Reverie. Last week I invited you to an open mic night. Are you coming?

Have you considered submitting to our Write for Us segment? We’d love to feature your work here on The Reverie! Click here for more information…

Have fun and share this post!

Taking it to the stage | Let’s Talk About

I know a lot writers who do not enjoy going out on stage and sharing their work. I don’t feel like I”m the best at it, but after it’s happened, I do enjoy it. There’s something extremely satisfying about the immediacy in sharing my work with a crowd. I’ve done this via the stage in front of people and in a virtual setting. My question to you , dear poets, have you ever done an open mic night? If you have-how was it for you? Would you do it again? And if you haven’t-would you ever?

I’ll meet you in the comments!

I found this quote the other day and it made me wonder. Can everything the writer creates, be traced back to the writer? Is there a way to write that is entirely outside of self? Or is the nature of the beast that we must write about our lives in some way or another, even if it’s not terribly obvious to the reader? Have you written a poem, character, story, etc that you were able to say you couldn’t find a shred of yourself in it? And if so, was the quality of the piece to par with your other works?
