Dock with us to explore the tectonics of somatic imaginations. Fly with synesthetic energies, grounded in delicious sensory embodiment. Let the genres mix and flail in hyperdrive. Our travel themes twine around the cyber avatar, spaceship architectures, steampunk air messages from the futures. Bring us your smooth or rough, edgy, connected, recombinant or disjointed glimpses of different heterotopias: from Sun Ra’s funk to global futurisms, from crip fabulation to Afro-pessimism, from solarpunk to trans bots. We welcome collaborative as well as solo alchemies.

This issue will be published in April of 2023. Maximum length for articles, essays and works of fiction is 7,000 words. Poetry submissions must not exceed 10 pages (or comparable length for other genres). All work should be formatted such that it can be printed on 6” x 9” pages. Incorporation of graphics is permitted; however, we cannot guarantee that any work will be printed in color. All material submitted will be considered simultaneously for publication in MQR Online. If Submittable is not accessible to you, please email mqr at umich.edu<mailto:mqr at umich.edu> with your concern.
