Futures Anthology A project of Bell Press (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (December 2020). We provide the following information as an archive. We list other projects with similar titles. Please check that you report any submissions under the correct listing. About The future is filled with many things: dreams, dread, hope, despair. The future is inevitable. It pushes forward the course of our lives, it dreams up our ideas of an afterlife, and it forces us to imagine the inevitable end of this world. It drives us towards changes. What kind of future do you imagine? What is a future you’d like to see? Is the idea of “futures” and linear time a freeing or restraining concept? Send us your best poetry, fiction, essays, or creative non-fiction on the the theme of FUTURES.
