"I write to break out into perfect primeval Consent. I wish I could tenderly lift from the dark side of history, voices that are anonymous, slighted - inarticulate." - Susan Howe, There Are Not Leaves Enough to Crown to Cover to Crown to Cover (1990)

​

For the seventh issue of permeablebarrier we are seeking submissions that engage with the above quote; work that plunders archives, animates hidden voices, spotlights buried histories, and gives voice to the inarticulate. 

​

As ever we are seeking creative work of any kind; send us your poems, stories, essays, collages, videos, artworks, images, sounds, performances, etc etc. If you're interested in contributing a review or interview please contact us with a brief proposal as early as possible.

​

Submissions will be read by guest editor Briony Hughes and PB curator JD Howse. 

​

• Send your submissions to permeablebarrier at outlook dot com.

• Include a short 3rd person bio and a brief blub for the work you are submitting.

• Please attach text-based submissions to your email as a word or pages document, image based submissions as a jpeg, tif, or pdf, and videos a link to a copy of the work on youtube, vimeo, or similar embeddable website. 

• You can familiarise yourself with what we're interested in by reading prior issues of permeablebarrier, but as a general rule we are drawn to innovative, unusual work which exists in the between spaces of form, medium, and genre. 

• While we have no word or page count limits for submissions, please be aware of how your work will be formatted on the site when submitting. 

• Please note that we are not interested in writing from Large Language Models or AI generated images. 

• If you have any questions please drop us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

• We hope to be in touch about submissions by the end of April; while we reply to every submission unfortunately we're not able to provide detailed feedback for rejections.
