Eyedrum Periodically
Call for Submissions
Drones fly over the noisy end of the post-colonial spectrum, enabling offspring of the Little Ice Age to space out and relax before unleashing hellfire missiles.
Drones thaw sonic tundra, and transform your horrible stepfather’s field recordings into an immersive and transcendent experience.
Drones work in cubicles. They sometimes break free.
Drones in beehives have one job: mate with the Queen. This is done in flight, and afterward the drone dies.
Authorities drone on until they are overthrown and dragged through the street.
And a literary journal’s call for submissions can drone on and on to the point of inducing nausea.
Which of the many kinds of drone intersect with the characters (real or imagined) encountered in your life, writing, art, and walks about the city? What conflicts resulted and how were lives changed by the collision? We look forward to reading, seeing, and hearing your answers.
Eyedrum Artspace and Gallery–a collective organization that provides a forum to support and encourage the development, exchange, and presentation of creative ideas and to nourish multifaceted growth in contemporary culture–announces the fourth issue of Eyedrum Periodically, a publication that presents new poetry, fiction, essays, and pictorial images of visual art.
