“Spring/Summer 2016: Mirrors and Prisms: Marginalized Orientations and Gender Identities. This year has seen a remarkable shift within the United States in relation to the gay rights movement. Nimrod has historically celebrated and championed writing by people from marginalized populations, whether those be nation, ethnicity, or age. In 2016, we will continue our mission of discovery with an issue devoted to writing from LGBTQIA community.

Mirrors and Prisms: Writers of Marginalized Orientations and Gender Identities will contain poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction pieces from writers who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or asexual, or anywhere under the umbrella term MOGAI (marginalized orientations, gender identities, and intersex). Work in the issue will reflect the diversity of the LGBTQIA community, and while we are certainly welcoming work about sexual identity, coming out, etc., work in the issue will not be limited to these subjects. This issue will celebrate LGBTQIA writers in all the ways that they contribute to the writing community.”
