We invite the community to participate in contributing their theme idea for the Cæsura 2025 issue. If we choose your theme we will give you a window for an 80 word count paragraph stating why you chose the theme; and it will be printed on the editor’s page in the issue. We ask you to please deliver your idea by February 24, 2025 to caesura@pcsj.org. The call release date is the first week in March!

Submisson guidance for the Cæsura 2024 issue.

Stay tuned for updated guidance for the 2025 issue.

CÆSURA

For more than three decades, Cæsura served its members as a literary newsletter and magazine. Beginning with the 25th anniversary issue in 2005, Cæsura updated its appearance and focus as a literary journal that includes poems, short fiction, non-fiction, critical work, book reviews, and interviews. We hope to provide our members and the public with a compelling mix of work from the established award-winning poet to the burgeoning writer.
