Sugar Suites Submission

Sugar Suites is a multi-medium, non-traditional poetry feature. Do not send traditional poetry submissions via this portal. To see the work we've previously published for this feature CLICK HERE.

To help us explore our diverse and rapidly changing media landscape, we invite you to submit poems that extend beyond the printed word, beyond the page, to include sounds, images, and interactive elements. We’re interested in work that investigates connections between different media forms and modes of representation, including film, music, sound art, electronic literature, and visual art.

Sugar House Review acknowledges that the way people use language is changing. Technology impacts how we experience the world, how we communicate, and how we define community. Poetry and poetics undoubtedly reflect and shape this evolution. 

In a time when boundaries between textual, visual, and aural art forms converge and overlap, we’re inspired to showcase writers’ efforts to accommodate and complicate media transformations. These efforts may take shape as audio poems, video poems, or hybridized digital artifacts. While we believe printed poems remain vitally important, we recognize that digital media allow for the creation of new forms that disrupt and extend traditional poetic expression. 

We’re also interested in work that exists in multiple forms, such as printed poems that also live as audio files containing musical information, or videos in conversation with text-based material. These pieces need not originate with a single author. We believe understanding is deepened and enriched through collaboration and experimentation, so collaborate, experiment, and send us your provisional results!
