LAST CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!
“For our first issue, we invite work in conversation with our namesake and its various associations: waterways, river systems, triptych, triads, triangles, triplets, tercets, terza rima, three-leggedness, sorority, sisterhood, holy trinity, fate, mythology, suspension, confluence, repetitive folklore, and multiplicity. We encourage innovation, playfulness, and deviation from the literal.”
