All best, Chrissy Christina Connor English Faculty HCC--Brandon Campus [email protected] he Indian River Review is currently soliciting submissions for its fifth issue scheduled for publication in late spring 2018. The theme for this issue is home: home as place, as idea, as state of being. In a society that seems increasingly unrooted and atomized, does home still have its gravitational force and tug? Against the warp and disruption of the current tumult, does it persist? Has it devolved to a walled-off and gated insularity? Can we take it with us when we go? Does it belong to us or we to it?
The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2017. Genres include short fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, critical essays, black and white photography, and book reviews.
