Nowhere Poetry and Flash Fiction is an independent literary journal, published 4-6 times a year and distributed worldwide. Nowhere Poetry and Flash Fiction primarily accepts submissions from writers that live or have lived in, or work that prominently features, Victoria, Refugio, Goliad, DeWitt, Lavaca, Calhoun, or Jackson counties in Texas. We do not publish light or inspirational verse, and prefer work that explores the truth, not stereotypes. We are open to the experimental, but will decline the "clever." We welcome the provocative and views that are often marginalized or ignored in this region. We are, without apology, in opposition to prevailing community standards. Cover and interior art in this issue by J. Tobias Bishop.
