‘Their Beauty soothed me and took me out of Myself; their noble expressions reminded me of all that is good in the World.’ Piranesi, Susanna Clarke
Vesper is an aperiodical literary zine born to delve deep into the many different aspects of the mystery that is night.
This summer, Vesper I will focus its gaze on the night sky. This neverending source of beauty speaks to us about truths at the same time inmense, collective and intimate, even if we forget them in our daily lives. Vesper I will gather short radiant pieces about or inspired by it: naked-eye visible objects such as constellations, individual stars or planets, stargazing, cyclical & linear time reflected on the heavens, mythology, mortality,… We are looking for resonant, complex and wonderful texts that reconnect us with this eternal nightscape.
Send us your poetic prose (up to 1,500 words) or poetry (up to 50 verses) to submissions[at]sadwrnpress[dot]com in an attached text document by 5th July 2021. Please do not include a bio. The selected authors will be rewarded with €40/piece and a complimentary copy of the zine.
