  • Call for Submissions: Special Issue on "Hidden Europe"

    2020-09-18

    The Dalhousie Review is currently soliciting submissions of poetry, fiction, and non-fiction that explore the complexities of historical and contemporary European identities and that present European life in ways that may be unfamiliar to contemporary readers. Submissions are invited from both established and emerging writers, although we are particularly interested in publishing work by emerging writers who have begun to establish themselves in Europe but are not necessarily well-known in Canada. While we welcome submissions from countries in western Europe (France, Germany, Italy, etc.), we are also interested in publishing work from smaller countries in central and eastern Europe (including Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, etc.) as well as work from Europe‘s western edge (such as Iceland and the Faroe Islands). Submissions should be sent to guest editor Jerry White (J.White@USask.Ca) by no later than April 1, 2021. For more information, please contact dalhousie.review@dal.ca.

  • Call for Submissions: Special Issue on "Biophilia"

    2020-04-21

    The Dalhousie Review solicits submissions of poetry, fiction, and creative non-fiction for an upcoming special issue on the theme of “biophilia” or the love of non-human life (i.e. ecosystems, wilderness, environments, etc.). We are particularly looking for submissions that push the boundaries of what love for non-human life can mean in this moment of ecological precarity and threatened plenitude, challenging both the doom-and-gloom discourse of climate crisis and the Romantic tradition of nature praising. Submissons should be sent to guest editor David Huebert (dhuebert@dal.ca) by no later than July 1, 2020. Decisions will be made by September, with publication to follow in the autumn 2020 issue. For more information, contact dalhousie.review@dal.ca.
