Shook Twins at River City Critics say, “I love the harmonies of the Shook Twins, the dreamlike songs that seem somehow permeated by the American Folk tradition, without actually being part of it.

Partnering with The Hood River News, selected items will appear in a special newspaper section this summer. There is no fi- nancial remuneration for ac- ceptance. All submissions are anonymous (the online submission process connects writers’ names to their pieces after they are accept- ed). The editors are looking for previously unpublished work in the following cate- gories: poetry, essay and flash fiction, centered on liv- ing in the Gorge. Funny or poignant, satiri- cal or lyrical, they want to know what the essence of the Gorge is to you. What de- lights you? Infuriates you? Inspires you? Accessible, meaningful writing is pre- ferred. The editors are not inter- ested in political or religious manifestos, work that pro- motes hate, or novel excerpts that cannot stand alone as flash fiction (“flash fiction” refers to characters and a conflict that is introduced, explored and resolved con- cisely, in this case within 500 words). While there may be a place and time for adult language, this is not one of them, as the pieces will run in a family newspaper. Because Gorge Lit is en- tirely volunteer driven, it does not have the resources for extensive editing, but the editors reserve the right to edit for publication. Please consult gorgelit.org for sub- mission guidelines and in- structions. Submission dead- line is May 1.
