OF ZOOS

OF ZOOS is a new electronic literary journal by Singaporeans for Singaporeans, and everyone else. We publish poetry and its sub-branches. OF ZOOS loves literature and art; invention and tradition; artificiality and verisimilitude; outrageousness and subtlety; tenderness and the sublime. We adore paradox, the courageous metaphor, experimental voices, and most of all, we love the fact that we love to write and read. We encourage Singaporean sensibilities not limited to Singapore, if that makes any sense. We especially encourage young, new, unpublished, ‘in the closet’ Singaporean writers. We welcome non-Singaporeans.

The Winter Anthology

"A collection of contemporary literature informed by history and older art, 21st century science and philosophy, and the ending of print culture. An elegiac perspective, uninterested in banality, anti-art, anti-intellectualism, and eclecticism for eclecticism’s sake. An argument that the finest works of contemporary art are systems balanced at the edge of chaos, poised at the highest points of equilibrium between complexity and clarity, between Dionysian and Apollonian forces, and that such works, eschewing empty invocation of the traditional supernatural, are nonetheless haunted by a recognition of the uncanny and transcendental. An electronic collection until sufficient material for a print version accumulates."

The Resurrectionist

The Resurrectionist is a biannual poetry journal dedicated to modern formalist poetry. By modern we intend poetry that makes use of contemporary language and grammar, experiments with verse forms or that handles contemporary themes. 'Resurrectionist' (syn. 'Resurrection-man') is a 19th century English term for a body-snatcher whose main purpose was the resale of body parts to anatomy schools and researchers in the medical field. The application of the term for the journal is metaphoric and in direct retort to the openly stated assumption that formal verse (or metrical poetry) is a dead and/or no longer relevant art.

Best Poem: A Poetry Journal

To qualify for publication, the poet must fit one of the following criteria: a) the poem has been rejected elsewhere for publication but still the poet feels strongly about its merit, or b) the poem hasn't been submitted but is the poet's current darling, favorite or breakthrough poem. Long poems and sequences are accepted and encouraged. For more information, please see guidelines.

Steel Toe Review

Tradition means something more than just doing the same things that people before you did with slight variations. Tradition provides a set of conventions and a set of expectations, and all of these can be reinterpreted and remolded and put to new uses. At Steel Toe Review, we strive to find literary and multimedia art that challenges and re-invents traditions. Birmingham, Alabama is a natural home for such work. Anyone with knowledge of Birmingham's history knows that it is in many ways not at all a traditional Southern city, and yet it has stubbornly held onto Southern traditions perhaps more than any other comparable city.

Chautauqua

The editors actively solicit writing that expresses the values of Chautauqua Institution broadly construed: a sense of inquiry into questions of personal, social, political, spiritual, and aesthetic importance, regardless of genre. We consider the work of any writer, whether or not affiliated with Chautauqua Institution, except for members of the Board of the Chautauqua Writers’ Center unless solicited for special issues. The qualities we seek include a mastery of craft, attention to vivid and accurate language, a true lyric “ear,” an original and compelling vision, and strong narrative instinct. Above all, we value work that is intensely personal, yet somehow implicitly comments on larger public concerns—work that answers every reader’s most urgent question: Why are you telling me this?
