We have read several anthologies about love, its coyness, fragility, joy, and sometimes, heartbreak. What’s often shied from in the narratives of love especially in many African cultures is its involving eros and sexuality. Even when such is written about, it is bound with entities that water and wrap it up as though such experience is sinful, shameful, or worse, inexistent.
We are looking for the revealing, authentic, pure, funny, regretting, teasing, memorable, descriptive, and importantly, relatable in this theme. We are looking for the provoking, simple, experimental, playful, what follows the rules or breaks them.
So, submit to us and hit us with your best shot!
Only the best 25 pieces will be published in this anthology.
