More about Tidings: Tidings is a collection of poetry, prose and artwork that works to bring the spectrum of the holiday season together into its pages. No matter what or how you celebrate through the winter, there’s no denying that it’s a time of year that is highly emotional, beautiful and worthy of art. Over the last few years, it feels as if the holidays have become a drastic example of how our lives revolve around traditions, memories, and human connection. We’re thinking about the ways art and poems have kept us connected. We marvel at the ability to find solace and kinship in words. Through art, we celebrate the cycles of our lives - from the cold and grey to bright and beautiful.
Submissions for Tidings are open September 1, 2023 through December 8, 2023. Please send us up to two (2) poems, short prose of 800 words or less, or two (2) pieces of digital artwork. Submissions should be sent via email to sarah@domesticatedprimate.com. Tidings will be published as an e-book on Thursday December 14, 2023.
