Hi tumblrinas!

I have a lit-mag and am always taking submissions (poetry, articles/op-eds, plays, short fiction)!

This is a primarily Philly-based mag, but as of right now, I'm taking submissions from anywhere and everywhere in the world!

Submit if you'd like or just take a little look!

Thank you for your consideration,

Jordan

Two of Apiary’s featured poets, Alex Smith and Ras Mashramani, are members of the West Philly collective Metropolarity, a community of speculative fiction writers, artists, and activists who are “queer, trans, poor and working class/low income, survivors, mothers, professionals, non-academics, glorious, amorphous border-walking space-dreaming city folk of the African/Caribbean/”Hispanic” mestiza/European diasporas.” Smith utilized the language of science fiction to articulate the complex frustrations of working as the only black barista in a largely white community’s café, while Mashramani, fresh off an appearance at Rotterdam’s Afrofuturism Now! Festival, read an achingly precise account of a decade spent queer and black in a changing Philadelphia.
