Publisher’s description: By incorporating music and the visual arts and releasing a new issue monthly, Fogged Clarity aims to transcend the conventions of a typical literary journal. Our network is extensive and our scope is as broad as thought itself; we are, you are, unconstrained.
Our aim is to proliferate beauty, to display work that helps articulate the subtlety and nuance of the human condition. We seek work that bleeds poignancy. Our past guests and contributors include: TC Boyle, Benjamin Percy, Joe Meno, Bruce Smith, Michael Tyrell, Caitlin Horrocks, Danielle Evans, D.M. Stith, Timothy Showalter, and Amy King, among others. www.foggedclarity.com receives between 10,000 and 15,000 visitors each month.
Creators who have work accepted for our online editions, will automatically be considered for publication in our print edition. Our print editions are collaborative works, the first of which will feature new stories by authors Benjamin Percy and Joe Meno, and is scheduled to be released in the winter of 2010.
We welcome submissions of Literary Fiction, Poetry, Short Film, Music, Visual Art, Polemics, and Non-fiction.
