What sets us apart is our willingness to curate work that openly engages with its multivalency. Each issue exists as a colliding, emerging, rhizomatic dialogue in which pieces exchange value and build in one another's presence. rivulet offers a nonhierarchical field for artwork such that the spaces between discrete pieces shift, grow, and resonate.Teo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?Read past issues and include an artist's statement. We only consider work from artists who self-reflect and are willing to dive into conversation with us about what informs and guides their processes.Teo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020Describe the ideal submission.J: Humane. Curious. Attentive.T: "I don't have to know what I'm seeing, but I have to see it very clearly." – D. NurkseTeo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020What do submitters most often get wrong about your submissions process?The first mistake when submitting to rivulet is not including an artist's statement. Also, it should be said that we are not interested in poetry that's done for the sake of having written a poem.Teo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020How much do you want to know about the person submitting to you?We're interested in the thoughts and context surrounding your piece. We're less interested in where you have published in the past.Teo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020What additional evaluations, if any, does a piece go through before it is accepted?We take great time and care with submissions. To that effect, we will occasionally reach with contextual or formal questions, to offer edits, or to invite additional dimensions (in past editions, such additions have emerged as audio recordings, visuals, video).Teo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020Do you nominate work you've published for any national or international awards?We hope to in the near future.Teo Rivera-Dundas & Jhani Randhawa, Co-editors on 04 December 2020 Cookie Consent: This site uses secure first-party cookies for essential, preference-setting, and statistical purposes.
