Tips From the Editor
We are looking for writing that is richly situated at the confluence of place, space and identity—or that reflects upon or makes use of landscape and place in new ways. Our theme is capacious, but our criteria is largely based on quality. If you’re unsure whether a piece fits our theme, send it and let us decide. And, of course, feel free to purchase a back issue to familiarize yourself with our aesthetic.
