Ambient Receiver Journal of Creative Ecologies

About

Focussed on creative practice as a means to attune to our ecology, AR welcomes submissions of poetry, short fiction, creative non-fiction/lyric essay, and sound works that explore the dynamic and complex entanglement of human and more-than-human worlds.
We look to receive writing that considers humankind’s shifting relationship with ‘nature’ and the non-human; relationships that either limit or enhance our engagement with ecological and civilisational crises.
It is likely that successful submissions will creatively challenge human exceptionalism, and or suggest new ways of being in the world—be that directly or indirectly. Ambient Receiver aims to showcase creative practitioners who, in various ways, mediate and/or ‘give voice' to the non-human.
