About the Open Call

Peace is a quality of relations we need to work towards in every generation. Unsolicited Press is seeking work that speaks to the ways we inherit and carry forward peace, both as a daily practice and a way of living in good relationship with the world around us. The anthology aims to include essays, poems, and ritual practices that offer pathways for collective dialogue. Submissions in multiple languages are welcome (with English, Spanish, Portuguese, or French translations for indigenous and creole languages).
