Babel is the online journal for ICORN, the International Cities of Refuge Network. It is a quarterly literary/activist journal focused on freedom of expression, exile, identity and cross-cultural issues. Our audience is international and the work we publish reflects this. Prose, poetry (we prioritize bilingual poems, original and translation or code-switching), essays and interviews are all welcome. We encourage creative twists on our themes.
We aren't able to pay our contributors, but your work would help support a meaningful organization. Please see submission guidelines at www.icorn.org . For the summer issue we are requesting creative responses (poems, creative non-fiction etc) to Wilford Owen's Athem for Doomed Youth.
