Issue III’s theme

Issue III: hestia (hearth & home) invites you to interpret the ideas of home, the hearth, belonging, and guardianship, as well as explore Hestia’s story or the cult of the Vestal Virgins. Home is not always a place. We seek belonging in people, in feelings and in our history. Family dynamics are often given rather than chosen. Do we perhaps all have a constant in our lives, like a flame, that if it should burn out, we will fail? Explore too what womanhood means to you: Hestia chose virginity instead of a married life but did that really mean freedom?

We would love to see your artistic and/or photographic interpretations of this theme. All photography and artwork submissions are considered for the front cover of the issue.

Submission guidelines

Creators may submit up to five images for consideration. Images should be crisp and 300 DPI.

The deadline is August 20th.

All submissions should be emailed to freeverserevolutionlit@gmail.com
