Our friends over at the Pine Hills Review want your work for the special theme of “F*ck 2020”! They are looking for poems, short stories, essays, hybrid work, and art created in reaction to, or as a result of coping with, the many effects and after-effects of 2020, “the dumpster fire year that just won’t burn out.”
Pine Hills Review is having its second themed feature, which will be edited by the students in English 254: Online Journal Editing & Publishing at The College of Saint Rose.
We’re looking for poems, short stories, essays, hybrid work, and art inspired by F*ck 2020—work created in reaction to, or as a result of coping with, the many effects and after-effects of 2020, the dumpster fire year that just won’t burn out. This includes but is not limited to the following: politics, the presidential election, you-know-who; the environment, the fires in California and Australia, global warming; Black Lives Matter; COVID-19, illness, loss, and how the pandemic has affected our lives; economic anxiety, businesses, jobs; remote learning, parenting, intimacy.
All tones and styles welcome. We especially encourage female and nonbinary writers, as well as BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ writers, to submit their work.
