About

Death Where the Nights are Long is an anthology of writing about the idea and experience of death in extreme lattitudes. We are asking approximately thirty writers from Canada, the U.S. and Iceland to deliver an account of death in its many varied forms. We expect submissions to be personal, visceral and unmediated. Although to some extent unavoidable, it is our expectation that writers will strive to avoid sentimentality and a soothing or educational tone. We are seeking a wide range of voices and experiences. Untimely death. Death of old age. Death of a pet or other animal. Death cheated. Death embraced. Death by suicide, murder, illness, carelessness, caring. Bargains with death. Experiences and imaginings about what lies beyond our last breath. Grieving. Coping. Strategies for living in the full awareness of mortality. All of these and more are welcome for consideration.
