Call for Submissions — Winter in America (Still

We invite poets and artists to contribute to the sequel anthology Winter in America (Still. This edition seeks reflective poetry, prose, and artwork exploring the consequences of the 2024 Presidential Election. All aesthetics, voices, and perspectives are welcome.

From Winter in America (Again

To Winter in America (Still

A new call for poetry, prose, and art

A Deeper Reflection

The first Winter in America anthology sought to be reflective rather than reactive, and to promote compassion in the face of division. With Winter in America (Still, we continue that spirit—calling for work that looks deeply into the aftermath of the 2024 election and its ongoing social, cultural, and personal consequences.

We welcome:

  • Poetry that meditates on where we are now, what endures, and how we carry both grief and hope.

  • Prose that reflects personal and collective experiences, offering narrative, essay, or hybrid forms of witness.

  • Artwork that explores justice, identity, resilience, silence, and resistance.

  • Voices across aesthetics and backgrounds—diverse, layered, and inclusive.

  • Abstract work welcome

This anthology is not about headlines, but about the quieter reverberations of political life in our daily experience—reflections that help us see not only the election’s impact, but also what it reveals about who we are, and who we might yet become.
