Submit Your Work for The Parlay!
Our theme this year is Greek Tragedy.
Fate versus free will, the downfall of the powerful, cycles of vengeance, and the weight of destiny—Greek tragedy reflects human nature and how it is timeless and unrelenting. This magazine explores the echoes of ancient tragedy in our modern world, from personal ruin to political collapse. The hope of change, the voices of our community, and the search for one identity. How do we confront forces beyond our control? What does justice mean in a world of moral ambiguity?
Poetry, prose, essays, visual media—exploring the inevitable and the tragic. Submit your work.
The submission deadline for this edition is March 31st, 2025!
