For our Spring 2019 issue, Michigan Quarterly Review seeks submissions on the theme of Iran — its literature, culture, and history, particularly perspectives on the 1979 revolution written in Iran or in the Diaspora. The issue, guest edited by Kathryn Babyan, seeks to present a collective of voices and reflections by a generation born in the shadow of revolution. We especially encourage translations from Persian, Kurdish, Armenian, and Azeri languages spoken in Iran.
Prose submissions: 5,000 words maximum
Poetry submissions: 8 pages maximum
