Sequestrum, a literary magazine with a discerning editorial eye, announces a themed call for poetry on the subject of Desire. The journal seeks work that embodies tension and innovation, recognizing desire as a fundamental force that complicates, evolves, and drives human experience. This call is not for the timid or the conventional; it is for poets who understand that desire is not merely a topic but a engine of narrative and lyric possibility. The magazine's curatorial stance is explicit: they want complex, ambitious writing that moves forward, much like desire itself. The parameters are clear—up to four poems per submission, each no more than thirty-five lines—and the fee is $7.15. Simultaneous submissions are accepted, and previously published material is not. The journal values brevity in the cover letter, requesting only a brief bio for potential contributor notes. Anonymity is required in the manuscript, ensuring that the work is judged on its own merits. This opportunity is for poets who engage with desire as a multifaceted theme, exploring its triumphs and tragedies without resorting to cliché. Sequestrum's editorial vision favors tension and innovation, suggesting a preference for work that resists easy resolution and instead lingers in the productive unease of longing. The journal's commitment to ambitious writing positions this call as a serious venue for poets seeking a readership that appreciates craft and intellectual rigor.
