Roses and Wildflowers, a publication of the Society for Ritual Arts, announces a call for speculative fiction and poetry for its Spring 2027 issue. This themed collection, titled 'Yellow Kings, Red Queens, and Broken Things,' is dedicated to Samuel R. Delany, honoring the legacy of his groundbreaking novel Nova and its engagement with tarot symbolism. The issue seeks work that explores mythopoeia and fabulism, inviting writers to weave narratives that resonate with the archetypal imagery of the tarot. The submission process includes a unique tarot challenge: twelve cards, created by four different artists, are featured on the publication's webpage. Writers are asked to choose one card and craft a story or poem that tells 'the story whispered only to you.' This prompt encourages deep engagement with the card's symbolism and personal interpretation, fostering a dialogue between the visual and the textual. The chosen card's name should be included beneath the word or line count. Submissions open on May 19, 2026, with limited access, and then open to all on June 21, 2026. There is no submission fee. The publication seeks to curate a collection that honors Delany's exploration of tarot as a system of symbolic communication, as reflected in the quoted passage from Nova. Writers are invited to contribute to this literary ritual, crafting stories and poems that resonate with the numinous and the speculative.
