WRECK PARK

A Journal of Interesting Fictions, Interested Criticism

Wreck Park is a double-blind, peer reviewed publication run out of Binghamton, New York. The journal
publishes prose, poetry, criticism, and interviews, and is particularly interested in conceptual frameworks and
developments that set to disrupt the canonical and standardized discourses of the contemporary academic and
literary landscapes. The journal welcomes authors, poets, researchers, and thinkers whose work reflects an
interrogation of engendered norms and traditions within societies, cultures, intellectual circles, and so beyond.
Wreck Park is inviting works of criticism, and in keeping with an unbound sensibility there is no preferred
subject, location, time period, or theme for submission. Rather, we are looking for works that are invested that
is, interested in the ongoing deconstruction and reformulation of literary, critical-theoretical, and cultural
studies. We seek works that explore the intersections between texts, critics, and modes of inquiry through their
political, cultural, and ideological impacts; we look for scholars who politicize the aesthetic and aestheticize the
political; and we favor those essays which are uncompromising in challenging margins and opening new
frontiers in scholarship.
Submissions should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words and formatted to conform to the latest edition of
the Chicago Manual of Style.
The issue is set to be published electronically June 2015. The deadline for consideration is May 1st, 2015.
