Caper Literary Journal This project is on indefinite hiatus. Check their site to find out whether this is a submission and/or publication hiatus. About CLJ publishes high-quality poetry and prose from American and international established and emerging authors. Though CLJ is primarily an online publication, we print yearly anthologies. CLJ's aesthetic leans toward the surreal or slipstream. We enjoy magic realism, surrealism, complex characters, feminism, reinvention of mythology and folklore, oddities, writing focused on culture and heritage, detail and beauty. Caper holds contests, literary events and nominates for major prizes. We are very selective but open-minded.
