Read This: Ecotone

I recently added Ecotone, a literary journal from the creative writing department at UNC-Wilmington, to my sidebar. One of the writers on the journal's editing team, Miriam Parker, wrote to let me know about "The Body as Ecotone," a series of short essays being published on the journal's blog. Miriam says they welcome submissions:

"We're interested in exploring the body as an ecotone—as a transitional place separating past and present, fantasy and reality—and invite you to submit artistic expressions of this idea. (We're open to anything: striking text, video, finger paints, sand sculptures...) Has your body served as a transitional zone physically through body art, pregnancy, injury, plastic surgery? Or perhaps through grief, stress, starvation or alchoholic binges? However you view your body as an ecotone, we're interested."

Among those who have already contributed: Laurel Snyder, Ann Ropp, Alison Stine and Jeannine Hall.
