Hiraeth

A photography, poetry, and prose (<2000 words) group zine open for submissions.

From wikipedia:
"Hiraeth - Derived from hir and aeth (the past tense of mynd), the word literally means "long gone", and can be found in the earliest Welsh records. It has no direct English translation...likens it to a homesickness tinged with grief and sadness over the lost or departed...It is a mixture of longing, yearning, nostalgia, wistfulness..."

From Samantha Kielar:
"This kind of homesickness is like a combination of the homesickness, longing, nostalgia, and yearning, for a home that you cannot return to, no longer exists, or maybe never was. It can also include grief or sadness for who or what you have lost, losses which make your “home” not the same as the one you remember."

We discovered this word a few months ago and resonated with the feeling of longing for a place that can never be revisited, physical or metaphysical spaces. In this group zine, we hope to explore multiple persepctives of Hiraeth through image and words.

Formatting your submission:

-All pieces must be titled with your name and the title of the piece. e.g. "Title_NameofArtist" or "Title_NameofArtist_# in series"
-Images 1500 px @ 300 dpi on the short side.
-Please send poetry and prose as google docs or pdfs.

*Artists are welcome to submit to each subject, as long as their submission simultaniously doesn't exceed the 5 file limit.

*We can only respond to selected artists at this time.
