I’m guest editing Eye to the Telescope’s April issue.
Theme: Immigrations.
Deadline: March 1, 2013.
I’m looking for speculative explorations of border crossings, assimilation, enculturation, acculturation and other facets of moving to and living in a strange place.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term, “speculative” encompasses the genres of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and magical realism. I will want the treatment of language to be literary (or literary quality) and the content itself will be speculative. For an idea of the sort of thing I’m looking for (only, on theme), check out: David McGimpsey’s “Summerland,” Thomas Lux’s “The People of the Other Village,” Tina Connolly’s “Rehydration,” James S. Door’s “No One Wants to Run Through the Woods Naked Under a Full Moon Anymore,” or Gwendolyn MacEwen’s “Magic Cats.”
