Painted Bride Quarterly's Print Four is currently in production, and though our next several online issues are full, please take a look at our upcoming themes and know that we never quit reading and we appreciate your submissions.
Issue 80: Unthemed.
Issue 81: Punishment: Self-inflected, just, deserved, corporeal, capital, spiritual, physical, positive, negative, aversive, castigation, flagellation, naughty fun, fines, penance, sin bin, time out, vindictive, retributive, rehabilitative, draconian, operant conditioning, severe.
From jail time to spankings, from being grounded by Mom and Dad, to being put on probation for a DUI. Tell us about punishment by God, by your boss, by your cat. Punishment vindicates norms, defines boundaries, and provides a release from tensions created by deviant acts. We think it also makes a good topic for literature.
Issue 82: Unthemed
Issue 83: Food: More than caloric energy, food figures. Food holds memory, desire, restriction, and hedonism. From the groaning board to the empty cupboard, food can represent how we live, who we are.
We'd like to see explorations of the last time you saw butter pats on the ceiling, creativity with zucchini, the perfect fry, your first chili pepper. Tell us about the ache of hunger, and the bliss of satiation.
