Sunspot Literary Journal believes in the power of the written word.
Sunspot speaks truth to power by drawing on the power of every human being. The publication is dedicated to diverse voices in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, scripts and screenplays from around the world. Photography and art, ranging from collages to digital art, are featured in the digital-only quarterly editions.
Since launching in January of 2019, Sunspot has showcased voices hailing from multinational communities worldwide. New works have been published in their original language alongside English translations. Boundaries that exclude meaningful and important works have been broken by accepting extremely long pieces, a rarity in publishing today.
In this, the inaugural print edition, readers will find the English translation of Other People's Land, a story about land rights for the indigenous people of Tahiti. Mallory Chesser explores the resonance of loss, and Piero Schiavo-Campo offers an intellectual mashup in a translation by Sarah Jane Webb.
Essay lovers will dive into Roeethyl Lunn's description of life in the Jim Crow South. Shaun Haugen addresses life after incarceration in letters, while Christina Robertson wings along various altitudes.
Author Opwonya Innocent, forced at the age of ten to become a child soldier, speaks of hope in an interview.
The poetry in the annual edition includes a brilliant found piece from Nina Wilson, a meditation about moving on by Jeanne Harris, and a compact work that spans centuries from Jose Trejo Maya.
The winners of Sunspot's contests will light fires in the world. One contest highlighted the role of women, gender identity and fluidity, and their intersection with human rights. Finalists from a contest with no set theme explored beauty, spirituality, and different types of legacies.
