Dear ,

The world is experiencing a lot and we know it affects us all. We wake to the news of hurt children, lonely women and horror that communities might never recover from. This is where art holds the candle in a quiet search of what might be left of our humanity.

We have published a list of over ten places open for submissions. Please submit if you are a writer. The world needs more of your art and humanity.

The long awaited Chapbook by Charles Tarlton is almost here and we are already preparing to bring you Essential Poetry by Psamuel Benjamin.

We have enjoyed the privilege of having Bright Kingsley join our reading team and his hard work and exciting ideas are helping to put many things right at Stripes.

Stripes Literary Magazine is dedicated to bringing you art that will jolt you out of numbness. We believe that art should reach every part of our world and this is why we promote our contributors and authors widely.

Stay Strippy, Abasiama Udom

Editor, Stripes Literary Magazine
