Call for Submissions: /Slant/Sex (Decades after Women’s Lib and Stonewall)
Call for Submissions: /Slant/Sex/: Decades after Women’s Lib and Stonewall, in the time of queer theory, gurlesque and “girls gone wild,” there are still aspects of women and transgender people’s sexuality that are taboo or discounted (the sexuality of older women and women with disabilities, for example, or a joyful transgender sexual self). We are looking for poems, prose, and multimedia/interactive art that address these topics. This is a call for bold, honest investigations of the sexual female/trans self that polite society has yet to fully embrace.

We particularly encourage submissions from women of color, older women, queer women, women with disabilities, and transgender/two-spirit/intersex/gender nonconforming folks. Follow the general and genre guidelines above. Choose “Slant / Sex” from the drop down menu for “genre.” IMPORTANT: please indicate the genre of your work in the comments field, in addition to anything else you’d like to tell us.
*We reject the gender binary, acknowledge that people have multiple ways of identifying their gender, and seek to be fully inclusive of all women-identified and trans-identified people in this call.
