FOR ALL WORK:
By agreeing to have Atticus Review publish a story, essay, poem, or other work (“The Work”) the author of The Work (“Author”) agrees to grant Atticus Review first rights to publish The Work 1) at atticusreview.org as well as 2) with a collection of NFTs ("First Publication"). After First Publication by Atticus Review, all rights to The Work revert back to Author. If Author publishes The Work elsewhere after First Publication, Atticus Review requests that acknowledgement be given to Atticus Review in the journal, web site, anthology, or other publication.

We're looking for work that comes out of "song." It might be a particular song, or it might be a group of songs. Maybe it's an era of songwriting. In any case "song" should be the launching point. Birdsong, waxing lyrical, harmony, chorale. We're looking for pieces that treat song not only as "music," but as a gateway to memory, confession, protest, or revelation.
Some guidelines:
We're most interested in writing that explores "song" as backdrop or as metaphor. Or maybe a song or songs is what gives a structure to your piece.
We welcome essays, fiction, poetry, hybrid work, video, or audio.
We are not interested in "music reviews." The analysis should be personal or cultural, not about the song itself. Prose should be no longer than 3500 words.
