Statement's mission is to inspire its readers to diversify and deepen their relationships through literature and art.
General Call for Submissions:
Statement invites you to think about the themes of "Wilderness and Cultivation" and what they can embody. Are they separate ideas that clash, or is it possible for them to coexist? They could be where we set aside preconceived ideas, focusing on what we would like to nurture, whether that be faith, relationships, creativity, knowledge, or new ways of understanding ourselves and the world. We might lose something we have been cultivating for too long, something no longer serving us. Progress can be created, found, or even lost. In trying to make sense of and to tame the chaos, discomfort may arise from the seemingly uncanny. Statement is on the hunt for your interpretation. We encourage you to submit your stories, poems, and creative expressions that explore what you foster, what you release, and what happens in between. Help us explore this internal and external terrain in our 77th issue!
Statement welcomes literary and visual art including poetry, short stories, essays, artwork, translation, or something entirely your own.
