Attention artists and writers ✍🏼 Our art and poetry journal, ILL Anthology is seeking submissions for Vol.4 Shedding to release in March 2026.

Deadline:

The deadline to submit is February 13th at 11:59 PST

Who can apply?

Artists of all mediums are welcome to submit work on the theme of “Shedding”. Shedding explores the power of transformation through release; what it means to outgrow old skins, stories, and circumstances. This theme centers on renewal of spirit, healing, and the courage it takes to let go of what no longer serves us. In this volume we are inviting work that reflects transition, reclamation, and the quiet strength found in becoming something new. Shedding is honoring endings as sacred thresholds to new beginnings.

Falastin Hurra! is a poetic witness to the Nakba (catastrophe) in Palestine. Written on the ground while farming in Palestine, Stephen Yorba simply captures what he saw during his time in the West Bank village of Bil’in. As such, the reader should consider these poems as written by the people, and merely transcribed by the author as a witness. Falastin Hurra! speaks to the struggle of the Fellahin (farming class) as they continue their agricultural practice in the midst of zionist aparthied and genocide. Each poem is a witness, seeking solidarity with the beauty of the Palestinian people, their courageous resistance against colonization, and their persistent nature to preserve their own autonomy. It is a testament to their sumud (steadfastness) in the face of the Nakba; the ongoing displacement and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people by the zionist state of Israel and the United States.

Stephen Yorba and Rebecca Ustrell collaborated on creating the images featured in Falastin Hurra! through analogue photography using the cyanotype process. All images were developed using natural sunlight on photo sensitive paper at Lopez Urban Farm in the summer of 2025.
