Potential poems/stories/art should be weird and uncomfortable. Don't worry if you think you won't fit. Submit anyway! This volume will be in print like our first six volumes and available on our website to purchase when printed.

Please consider reading our past volumes if you aren't sure of our vibes, but it is not necessary.

777 is an implied theme, but if you feel like your work is troubling or would start a fire, you're in the right place.
