Subject Line: Fall 2026 Submission – [Your Name]
"Share Your Soliloquy"
For our Fall 2026 Issue, The Soliloquist Journal invites poets and writers to dissect the mechanics of memory loss— chosen and unchosen. What do you let go of on purpose? What slips away against your will? What do you misremember, and why does the misremembering feel like its own kind of truth?
We are looking for raw, vulnerable, and authentic poetry and soliloquies that trace the edges of what has been lost, blurred, or deliberately buried.
SUBTHEMES:
Selective Erasure — The things we choose to forget on purpose: a face, a
betrayal, a version of ourselves we've outgrown.
Phantom Memory — The ache of a memory that lingers after the thing
itself is gone—like sensation in a missing limb.
The Unreliable Archive — Misremembering as its own act of creation: when
the story we tell replaces the thing that actually happened.
Inherited Forgetting — Family silences, generational gaps, and the things
left unspoken until they simply cease to exist.
The Slow Fade — The involuntary kind of forgetting: aging, illness,
distance, and the quiet grief of watching a memory dissolve in real time.
