We're a confused collective of marble designers who, after discovering a set of encyclopedias, decided to stick our pinkies into the asphalt parking-lot of words. We seek innovative poetry and prose, work that quivers nervously for attention, work that teethes endlessly on doorknobs. We could toss out a grocery-list of writers—from Spicer to Borges, or O'Connor to O'Hara—but that would confuse you. The best way to understand our editorial preferences is to read the journal. alice blue is published on a hidden mountain-top between Portland, Oregon and Boise, Idaho.

Please Note: Submissions are closed until M A Y 2 0 1 0.

After regrettable technical problems with our webhost, email, and abject laziness, we have lost all prose submissions. If you have not heard from us we abase ourselves before your parted toes, but feel it's best to move onward and upward toward our new plateau, mountain–top.

poetry

Please send 2-5 poems as a single .doc (word) or .rtf attachment, along with a short introduction, to alicebluepoetry@gmail.com. The subject line of your email should adhere to the following format so we don't think it is a malevolent virus bent on literary destruction: yourname/aliceblue/poetry. For example, if your name is Gertrude Stein, then your subject line should read: Stein/aliceblue/poetry.

prose

Prose submissions by solicitation only, unless you can find some clever way to contact us...
