Submissions for print issue 3 'Metamorphosis' OPEN

Journals of Love & Literature issue 3 'Metamorphosis'

Metamorphosis is the quiet and violent act of becoming. It is shaped by rupture, growth, decay, and rebirth. Who is the self that is shed, and which form do we inhabit next? This issue invites reflection on change, whether chosen, forced, or awakened. What have you outgrown, and what has outgrown you?
