Orion headless is celebrating its first birthday on April 9. Editor Sara Fitzpatrick Comito would like to commemorate the occasion with a special call for submissions. The theme is "Don't Lose your Head." Write a poem, story or nonfiction piece (or more than one) about anything related to that theme and send it to submit@orionheadless.com anytime between now and April 22nd for consideration. Please include the words "Don't Lose your Head" in the subject line. Videos will also be considered. Any other ideas, feel free to query. Accepted works will be posted in a special anniversary section as they are received.
Sara's been overwhelmed at the contributions and attention the journal has received in its short life, and looks forward to many more headless years.
It's springtime and love is in the air, the Camel says, and Susan Tepper and Gary Percesepe have created a sexy and luminous love story that takes place sometime during the late 1940’s, in that sandy wonderland at the eastern tip of Long Island known far and wide as The Hamptons. What May Have Been is a novel in letters exchanged between the artist Jackson Pollock and his fictional lover, an alluring young woman called Dori G. Yes, that Dori G.
