Black Stone / White Stone A Deep Dive Zine (BS/WS)

See other projects related to this listing.

This project is believed to be defunct. (January 2026)

About

From the realization that there is a stone waiting for us comes bs/ws. From the realization that we have also been that stone comes bs/ws. From the realization that ink is in our blood, even if it’s not in our name. From out this black and white world comes bs/ws. Our name comes from the Cesar Vallejo poem and we want to honor it through surreal and experimental poems. We are a deep dive zine. Each issue we will take a deep dive into one poet who expresses a need to explore & hammer away at what it means to exist.

Before Submitting

We cannot guarantee that the information on this page is correct. It is not unusual for publications to evolve or close without notice. We do our best to keep up, but it isn't always possible. Duotrope listings do not imply endorsement or recommendation of the project being listed. Before submitting, you should use your own judgment to determine whether the project meets your standards.

  • Always read the full guidelines provided by the publisher.
  • Try to read at least one previous publication to get a better idea of what the editor would like to see.
  • Unless the publisher's guidelines state otherwise, always use industry standard manuscript formatting.
  • Be professional, patient, and persistent.
