METAMORPHOSIS
Metamorphosis in folklore and literature transforms humans into animals, objects, or in the case of Kafka, a giant venomous bug. Issue #14 of The Quarry invites writers to consider the meaning of transformation and how it shapes our perspective of the world.
We are looking for writing that considers metamorphosis at individual and social levels: from queer lit and the rejection of binaries; to changing political structures and disruptions to the status quo; to poetry that mutates language; from the personal is political and hashtag culture to #metoo; from the real to the fantastic.
Issue #14 will be accepting short stories, micro-fiction, poetry and creative non-fiction. We welcome text-based works that integrate audio and sound.
