Perigee

Apogee Issue 11 is here.

Dear Apogee Fam, For those of you who have been following us this past year, we’ve gone through some major transitions as a journal—including transitioning from print to digital issues. We made this decision to make Apogee more accessible to a wider range of readers. With web accessibility, we remain dedicated to bringing you voices that challenge the white cishetero patriarchal structure of mainstream publishing.

14TH ANNUAL TRANS DAY OF ACTION

New York fam, Join us tomorrow at the 14th Annual Trans Day of Action for Social and Economic Justice. A day to celebrate, commemorate, and continue fighting. Apogee Journal is a proud sponsor of TDOA and an advocate for the right to gender self-determination free from fear and socio-economic oppression.

Call for Fiction Readers

Apogee Journal is currently looking for several highly motivated and web-savvy readers to join our fiction team. We are a small but ambitious journal, having launched our 10th print issue earlier this year. We are now transitioning to an all-digital model to increase accessibility to the writing and art we publish. Currently, all positions at Apogee are unpaid, but we are pursuing funding and pay staff project-based stipends whenever possible. This role represents a chance to be mentored by the fiction editorial team, to read and select the chosen fiction, and to build  confidence and editorial skill. You will also get to work alongside a community of dedicated artists and activists with the mission to emphasize marginalized identities. The time commitment will be around 5-10 hours per week.

Place[meant]: Denise Low

Place[meant] is a recurring series that explores identity beyond the geopolitical and physical parameters that have come to define our sense of place. From a train in Queens to the cuff of a bodily spell, the poems in this series navigate place as both material terrain and residual traces of one’s memory. Place[meant] delves into how migration, diaspora, borders, technologies of power and control, biopolitics, and historical violence shape our identities, the powers of which are anything but benign.
