Its goal is to extend CBU\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Dazed Starling<\/em>&nbsp;student literary journal\u2019s mission by offering an additional publication opportunity open not only to current CBU students but also to faculty, alumni, and friends of the university. Each edition is thematic, but the editorial staff is open to an expansive interpretation of that theme. The editors will consider submissions in a wide variety of genres\u2014poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, of course, but other writing (creative, critical, devotional, etc.) that might go beyond those categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme for the inaugural edition of<em>&nbsp;The Dazed Starling: Unbound&nbsp;<\/em>is \u201cunbound.\u201d We welcome various interpretations of this theme, including, but not limited to, the exploration of freedom, what sets us free, taking flight, the unlimited, escape from confinement (literal and figurative), going beyond expectation, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Dazed Starling: Unbound<\/em>&nbsp;also seeks to extend the creative voice of&nbsp;<em>The&nbsp;Dazed Starling&nbsp;<\/em>student literary journal with additional emphasis on visual arts. Artistic pieces should be submitted as JPEG or PNG image files. We are particularly looking for works embracing our theme. Still, we are open to various forms\u2014photography, computer-generated images, paintings, drawings, line art, black &amp; white, monotone, full color, everything! (We\u2019ll be honest\u2014we are hoping to see a bird-themed piece or two\u2014but not only that.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether written or visual, all submissions must be previously unpublished with all rights held by the submitter. All submissions should consider the mission and spirit of the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple pieces may be submitted in one submission. Authors may submit up to 3 poems and up to 5,000 words of prose (fiction or nonfiction). Artists may submit up to 5 pieces of visual art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"https:\/\/californiabaptistuniversity.submittable.com\/submit\/00f468ea-35e6-47a4-9e73-15eccd3f1747\/the-dazed-starling-unbound-2021\" style=\"background-color:#061032\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Submit Your Work<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dazed Starling: Unbound&nbsp;is an online publication of the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Creative Writing program at California Baptist University.
