Why?
Is it strange to anybody else that we've got a lone, seemingly ambiguous week off in the middle of March? For one reason or another, we college students are allowed an entire week of sloth and debauchery without any consequences. Not ready to get hammered for being the nail sticking out of the wood, I welcome this week away from school as a much needed break from life, along with the perfect time for me to catch up on my neglected Prism Review work.
Ah, neglect, something that we all do to some extent. Without you we'd all be too encompassed in things to not care about that which is most important. My personal favorite is neglecting chores. Somebody, somewhere will fulfill that job, and quite frankly, I think the reason we have a vertical cat dish is so that they can feed themselves, Mother.
Getting back to Spring Break, after I get around to finishing up all of that Prism Stuff (time cards, editing the master, editing my own submission, probably something else I forgot), I plan on doing the same thing I do every break; jack shit. I'll probably end up sleeping until the crack of noon and watching my pirated Disney movies. I've already managed to kick off the week with The Aristocats and I plan on singing along with The Jungle Book sometime within the next 19h32m. Well, it's been about 24 hours since I've last eaten so I think it's time for me to start enjoying my break, just as you should.
Toodles.

Submissions
* The fiction we like is deeply varied, from the succinct prose of Ernest Hemingway to the fresh wackiness of Aimee Bender, from the ethereality of Italo Calvino to the ruminations of Alice Munro. We enjoy poetry that is conscious of itself as language and does not rely on end-rhyme or formal structures – Mark Strand, Brenda Hillman, and Mary Jo Bang are some of the many poets we adore. In non-fiction, we dig Annie Dillard’s depth, David Sedaris’s humor, and Anthony Bourdain’s brusqueness. In other words, we’re open to any and many styles – what matters most is that your work is good, thoughtful, complex.
*We accept submissions year-round unless otherwise noted on the home page. While length is open, we rarely publish prose pieces over 5000 words. If submitting poetry, feel free to submit up to three poems.
* Simultaneous submissions are accepted, but you must notify us immediately if the piece has been accepted elsewhere. We do not accept previously published pieces.
* We’re working on getting the fantastic online submissions manager, but in the meantime, Email submissions are accepted as .doc or .rtf attachments. Be sure to include the name of the piece and the genre (fiction, poetry, non-fiction) in the subject line and email the submissions to
