<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left"><i>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</i>. — Natalie Diaz, “The First Water is the Body”</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">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. </p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">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.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">We welcome work that might engage, among other themes: </p>
<ul>
<li>rivers as water bodies and bodies of water</li>
<li>rivers as hydrological networks</li>
<li>rivers as transport</li>
<li>rivers as centers not edges of habitation and meaning</li>
<li>rivers as human connective tissue</li>
<li>rivers as capillary action</li>
<li>rivers as fluency and artistry</li>
<li>rivers as influence and confluence</li>
<li>rivers as political ecologies</li>
<li>rivers as entities with legal “personhood”</li>
<li>rivers as living beings and relatives </li>
<li>rivers as sites of memory</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:10px 0;padding:0;color:#202020;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:16px;line-height:150%;text-align:left">If you would like to pitch a specific idea for an interview, please email us at <a href="mailto:blackearthinstitute@gmail.com" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">blackearthinstitute@gmail.com</a>.</p>
