Sunspot Literary Journal 2023

Creativity is power Sunspot seeks out diverse fiction, poetry, nonfiction, photography and art from around the world. Engage with the transcendent poetry of Carolina Esses in Spanish (translated by Allison A. deFreese). Journey through a powerful set of paintings by Bill Schulz. Walk with Tamar Jacobs through a series of tiny moments that resonate with meaning. Explore the streets where William Lewis Winston took black-and-white photos. Head to India with an excerpt from Reema Rajbanshi's memoir. This year's cover showcases Matina Vossou's vivid The Artichokes Bloom. Since launching in January of 2019, Sunspot Literary Journal has amplified diverse multinational voices. New works have been published in their original language alongside English translations. Boundaries that exclude meaningful and important works have been broken by accepting extremely long-form pieces, a rarity in publishing today. www.sunspotlit.com
