Call for poetry submissions: Rabbit 40: The Extinction Issue

Rabbit is currently accepting submissions for Issue 40: the EXTINCTION Issue, to be guest co-edited by Elena Gomez and AJ Carruthers.

How else might we think of, approach and (re)imagine archives, as cosmologies, as expansive structures for comprehending larger, wider dimensions, like the past, time, universes? For this issue, we are interested in poems that explore, engage with, test and challenge 'the archive' as place, space, repository and/or concept.
