Creativity is power
Sunspot seeks out diverse fiction, poetry, nonfiction, photography and art from around the world.
In this edition of Sunspot, writers and artists from around the world conjure intensely personal moments that reflect on the places and lives all of us inhabit. Adam Walsh's "[la boda la muerte mi vida]" contemplates personal history in a poem that won the annual Editor's Prize. Roopa Dudley, whose work appears on the cover as well as inside the journal, provides a whimsical take on the seasons. Aarron Sholar shares a moving piece on transitioning, while Ron Pullins plumbs the depths of a father's life.
Since launching in January of 2019, Sunspot Literary Journal has amplified diverse multinational voices. New works have been published in their original language alongside English translations. Boundaries that exclude meaningful and important works have been broken by accepting extremely long-form pieces, a rarity in publishing today. www.sunspotlit.com
