The Insignia Instincts Series A project of Insignia Stories (see other related projects). Permanently Closed: This project is permanently closed to submissions (February 2023). We provide the following information as an archive. About Theme: Must have both Asian and speculative elements (fantasy, scifi, etc). Due to the short format, you do not need to specify which country your poem is about within the poem itself, but the Asian setting/people/culture should all give good hints. The Asian elements are more important that the speculative ones, for this call. (It’s a challenge, but we believe in you!). We also have a broad view of ‘Asia’ and would love to see poems stretching far west across the Silk Road and to Persia, etc. Country of Publication & Year Established Japan Established in 2019 Publication Medium & Frequency Electronic Publication Electronic PublicationPublished 12 x per year Poetry Closed Audience:Open to a broad Audience, including: People in a specific region, People with East Asian origins, People with South Asian origins, People with Southeast Asian origins.Genres: Fantasy Open to all/most Subgenres Science Fiction Open to all/most SubgenresLengths: Poem: No line limits known; Up to 2 pieces.Poetry Forms:Open to all/most Forms.Styles:Open to all/most Styles, including: Mainstream.Topics: Place/Regions: Specific region.
