Happy spring, everyone! We’re happy to feature Agnieszka ‘Uisce’ Jakubczyk’s Koivu I, II, III. A weaver, embroiderer and fiber artists, she writes of her work:
Through my art I express fascination with the harmony of natural structures: their lines, macro and micro formations, ethereal forms of water, wind and light. I also aim to communicate through a language of visual symbols about issues touching the human being as an individual and as a part of society. My particular interest lies in undertaking ecological and mental health subjects in art.
For more of Uisce’s work, be sure to check out her website.
If you would like to be included on the next Where to Submit list, please email Small Press Editor Justin Greene (justingreene@entropymag.org) with a formatted call. For templates of formatted calls, as well as information concerning how the list is put together, we encourage you to take a look at our recent “A Few Notes on Where to Submit” post.
Additionally, Where to Submit has recently announced a companion series called Subversions, intended as a space in which writers and publishers can critically engage with and interrogate the rhetoric, politics and practice of literary submission and publication. For more information on this, in addition to other awesome sections and series across the site, take a look at what we’re looking to publish this year. If you’re interested in pitching an essay or interview for Subversions, please email Justin.
The Where to Submit list is a community space, just like all of Entropy. Our primary goal is to help connect writers with small presses, journals, and other literary opportunities. Inclusivity and equity are imperative to us and, in this list, we’re committed to making space for a significant breadth of voices, platforms, and organizations invested in literature and its numerous capacities. However, we are also committed to keeping the list a focused resource, one that best serves our readership and reflects our mission of maintaining a safe and supportive community of readers and writers. This means that we may not choose to feature every submissions depending on the aesthetic, genre, guidelines, scope, mission, or focus of your organization.
