Final Girl
final girl is a special edition outside of the regular submission period & subscription. We asked for work from the survivors, the empowered storyteller, the voice that remains in the wake of real or fictional events. We welcome image-rich poems and narratives of persistence.
This is how we make our way in the dark together; these are the witches, the fighters, the clever, the tricky, the tenacious, the survivors.
