LINEA

is a linen thread; the warp and weft during weaving; a fishing line; a plumb line; a bowstring; a geometric boundary; the long markings, dark or bright on a planet’s surface; a line of thought; an outline, a sketch.
LINEA Vol 2 Virtual LAUNCH

LINEA is a literary journal of poetry and micro fiction published annually by Simian Press. We celebrate the literary snapshot, the atmospheric vignette, the emotion jotted in the margin, the lives, characters, moods and settings that come alive within narrow straits.

Volume 2 is available for purchase here from Simian Press.

Volume 1 is available for purchase here from Simian Press. (limited copies available)

Submissions

We invite you to offer your previously unpublished poetry and micro fiction for the third edition of LINEA, to be published in December 2021. Designed by artist Adell Donaghue, LINEA promises a cornucopia of art, poetry and short fiction, taut, crisp, and lovely, artfully designed using both traditional letterpress and modern digital technologies. Each journal is hand-stitched and each volume is produced in a limited number of copies (150-250).

The theme for Volume 3 is Journey, defined as: physical, metaphysical or spiritual travel or passage from one place to another.
