Viviparous Blenny
a twentythreebooks contemporary arts journal*

Fall 2007, Volume I

Theme: Synchronicity

Synchronicity is not merely serendipity, it is defined as meaningful coincidences. Synchronicities are acausal, that is, not able to be reduced to a cause-and-effect explanation. They are always personal events. They are boundary events that often occur at periods of major life transitions. And they necessarily reflect a deeper, more holistic reality.

*If you submit work that doesn’t directly address the theme, please explain why you’ve chosen the piece to represent the theme.

Submissions guidelines:
¨ 3–4 poems
¨ 5–7 pages of prose (fiction, nonfiction, creative nonfiction, commentary, interviews, reviews, etc.)
¨ Black and white photographs (.tiff, .gif, .jpg; low-res for submission)
¨ Black and white artwork or drawings (low-res scanned image file)
¨ Comics
