NOW CLOSED
Ongoing Series
NEW WORKS NOV/DEC
Looking for innovative, original unpublished work up to 10 pages or 2500 words across categories: poetry, prose, video, plays, essays, art, video, spoken word. No theme & limited spaces for the ongoing New Works web project. Do check out the New Works series for the kinds of work we like to publish as well as any of our other on-line series to get a sense of our variegated focus. We are accepting work from writers and artists from the global, international writing communities. We accept challenging and lyrical work, and love hybrids and ground breaking works that interrogate social, political and artistic norms.
EXPERIMENTAL REVIEWS:
Send us unique, challenging, groundbreaking reviews of a favorite book you read in 2025. It can be fiction, poetry, non-fiction; the review should be a call-response to any book (or books) of your choice up to 2000 words. Alternatively, write a poem response, make an art work or works inspired by something you read; send us a video response to a book. Deconstruct, erase and challenge texts or simply share ways in which a text work or a hybrid work has inspired your own practice through examples of process and experimentation. We hope to make this a lively, exploratory series.
ICE FLOE PRESS encourages work by writers and artists self-defined as disabled, queer, LGBTQA, black and brown, international, emerging, older, marginalized, neurodivergent, those with health issues, and otherwise under-represented, online and in-print. We feature and promote creative poetics and experimental, boundary-breaking writing and art, from narrative to abstract, hybrids to collaboration, VISPO, concrete, mixed-media, time-based et. al. however one wishes to define/interpret a fluidity in categories and genres.
