CRWROPPS POST: name change anthology

-----Call for Submissions for Anthology: 

Name Change: Stories of Identity & Transformation

The amount of power given over one's own name—to wield, change and declare it—speaks to the reach of individual liberties in any given society at any given point of history. 

 

Topic:  

Writers Amabel Kylee Síorghlas and Jaquelyn Fernandez Rieke are creating and publishing the anthology Name Change: Stories of Identity & Transformation. We seek original creative nonfiction essays, poems, and B&W art about the decision to change one's given name—first, middle, or last name (or all three)—as well as the outcome of implementing the change, especially the social, societal, and identity shifts related to that decision.

We seek diverse voices to share poignant stories of choosing a new name—to better suit personality or life purpose, to fully inhabit gender or sexual identity, to assimilate into a new culture, as a rite of passage and personal growth, for spiritual purposes, for activist reasons, or for love and marriage, and the list goes on. The reasons for choosing a new name are vast and deep, wrought with intense introspection, leading to significant personal transformation.
