Next Issue’s Theme: Science and Sensibility
According to Richard Dawkins, “There’s real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality”.
Who says that art and science are two separate fields by nature, rather than two different sides of the same coin? Or that scientists, engineers, and medical researchers take interest only in matters within the boundaries of the laboratories and hospitals? For poets, writers, and artists there are no such boundaries, for there is poetic wisdom in scientific knowledge, beauty in anatomy, and concepts worth celebrating in writing. And for biographers and memoirists, the medical humanities offer experiences that are worth preserving in prose. Our forthcoming issue seeks to publish works that deconstruct the common divide between two seemingly distinct disciplines of art and science, building bridges instead of boundaries, and showing the importance of creatively contemplating, cherishing, and preserving the beauty of what we learn and experience.
Send us your poems, articles, stories (both fiction and non-fiction), art, and reviews on the theme of science. Whether you have a piece containing astronomical images, eco-poetry, aesthetic reflections on chemicals and substances, lunar photography, artistic depictions of the human body, alchemical musings, art and arithmetic, psychological fiction (or non-fiction), an ode to omicron, or any other creative pieces arising from “scientific” inspiration, please share them with us!
Submissions deadline: October 31st, 2022.
