We accept submissions on any theme you may choose; however, we recommend these themes:

(1) Obsolete political scapegoating, especially those pieces that can combine the demonization of the non-existent with displays of the total misapprehension of historical moments.

(2) Human rights struggles from places we don't really know or interact with that can be used as a screen to place in front of the human rights abuses we actively support and salivate over.

(3) The beauty of our own portfolio: Idiosyncratic arts, found in the realms of extra rhymey patriotism, Christain rock, goose stepping, prison design and so on, that cherish a clear sense of mimicry of the archaic and a Hobbsean sense of our fellow mensch. At their best, they inspire us with their lofty ideals, strengthen the basic moral foundations of society, and, of course, delightfully entertain us. Yet, today, fascist arts are often neglected and treated as defeated or out of style. We seek poetry that celebrates the beauty of power . “Classical” here is in the broad sense and refers to arts or methods from the Riefenstahl period or earlier, or approximately pre-battle of Stalingrad.
