Strange Little Things
For the things that are weird, wonderful, oddly specific,
unexpectedly beautiful, or impossible to explain.
This issue is about the little things that make life feel strange in the best way. Peculiar habits, unusual collections, tiny discoveries, eccentric characters, bizarre memories, fascinating objects, unexplained moments, and the things you love that nobody else quite understands.

Each issue of In The Margins explores a different little corner of the human experience. We're looking for work that doesn't simply fit the theme on paper we're looking for work that feels like it belongs there. Poetry, prose, photography, illustration, painting, collage, handwritten pieces, mixed media, crafts, photography, found objects, visual fragments, and experimental work are all welcome.
