BOMBAY GIN LITERARY JOURNAL IS OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR ISSUE #51
Passage to Lost Places
In honor of losing our infamous, iconic Arapahoe Ave. Campus, Issue #51, Passage to Lost Places looks for visitations, offerings, the patched-togetherness of place. Whether you can or can’t go home again, whether you get where you’re going via plane, train, or clown car, or find a new destination along the way, this issue looks to create a scrapbook, archive, travelogue of places vanished, removed, transformed, and misremembered.
Send us your excised maps, patchwork travel diary, situ poems, as you reach beyond the edge of past into now/always. Accepting Prose, Hybrid, Cross-Genre, Poetry, and Visual Artwork for this print issue.

What We are Looking For
Bombay Gin Literary Journal publishes experimental prose, poetry, artwork, and hybrid work. As part of the Outrider lineage, we value free speech, experimentation, and work that cannot be confined by genre. We publish primarily in print, however, submissions with extensive color or design better left for the responsiveness of online platforms will be consider for our online features.
