We ask our fiction writers to imagine their readers navigating a story with one finger poised over a mouse button. Contrary’s poetry in particular often mimics the effects of fiction or commentary. We believe poetry is contrary by nature and we look especially for plurality of meaning, for dual reverberation of beauty and concern. Savannah Sipple will judge this year’s contest. Both the handmade and the electronic HeartWood venues aim to showcase work that gets to the heart of the matter. The annual broadside serves as artifact companion to the fall issue of the digital magazine. Partnering with West Virginia letterpress company Base Camp Printing, we print the winning entry (poetry or flash prose) on a limited-edition letterpress broadside featuring an original image inspired by the text. HeartWood Literary Magazine & West Virginia Wesleyan’s MFA Program seek to honor this practice with an annual broadside series and contest. For a manuscript outside this range, please contact us prior to sending.Ī writing practice requires us to slow down, reflect, attend. Manuscripts must be between 15 and 30 pages.
