Read the call for On Rivers and Submit On Rivers

*A river is a body of water. It has a foot, an elbow, a mouth. It runs. It
lies in a bed. It can make you good. It remembers everything*. — Natalie
Diaz, “The First Water is the Body”

For this upcoming issue, coeditors Teresa Dzieglewicz and Laura-Gray
Street, with consulting editors Lucien Darjeun Meadows and Irene Vázquez,
invite submissions of prose, poetry, visual art, and hybrid and multi-modal
work pertaining to rivers. Rivers are deep sources of connection and
memory, holding very different meanings for different communities, and this
issue seeks to honor the many types of relationships we have with rivers.

We welcome a wide range of perspectives and types of writing and art,
including experimental and/or speculative work; interviews; graphic memoir,
poetry, or fiction; scholarly, legal, or scientific prose written for a
general audience; and translations (with originals). We seek work from
activists, artists, creatives, environmentalists, writers, and all who are
deeply engaged with rivers, regardless of academic, professional, or
publication history. We’re looking to create a collective view on rivers
that is expansive and surprising.

We welcome work that might engage, among other themes:

   - rivers as water bodies and bodies of water
   - rivers as hydrological networks
   - rivers as transport
   - rivers as centers not edges of habitation and meaning
   - rivers as human connective tissue
   - rivers as capillary action
   - rivers as fluency and artistry
   - rivers as influence and confluence
   - rivers as political ecologies
   - rivers as entities with legal “personhood”
   - rivers as living beings and relatives
   - rivers as sites of memory

If you would like to pitch a specific idea for an interview, please email
us at blackearthinstitute at gmail.com.

We look forward to engaging with your art and learning about your rivers!
