Cartwheels, Flipped Cups, and Publications: Doing What We’ve Never Done Before
For 2021, we exclusively accepted work from writers of marginalized identities for the Quarterly. This fourth and final 2021 issue is devoted to marginalized writers who have never been creatively published considering the body. Monica Prince, our managing editor, and Nicole Schmidt, our prose editor, edited this issue. Editors for each issue wrote the introductions.
Watch the editors’ intro below! All COVID-19 protocols were followed during the filming of this video. Special thanks to videographer and director, Robert Barkley, whose original music soundtracks this video.
Monica Prince (she/her), managing editor for SFWP, teaches activist and performance writing at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania. She is the author of How to Exterminate the Black Woman: A Choreopoem ([PANK], 2020), Instructions for Temporary Survival (Red Mountain Press, 2019), and Letters from the Other Woman (Grey Book Press, 2018). She is the co-author of the suffrage play, A Pageant of Agitating Women, with Anna Andes. Her work appears or is forthcoming in The Rumpus, The Texas Review, MadCap Review, American Poetry Journal, and elsewhere. Follow her on Twitter and check out her website.
Nicole Schmidt (she/her), Quarterly prose editor and acquisitions & developmental editor for SFWP, received her B.A. in Creative Writing from Susquehanna University. She is a tequila loving cat-mom, partially-reformed Queens hoodlum, and admitted coffee addict. Her work is featured in Newtown Literary, and when not editing for SFWP, you can find her tweeting nonsense at @niccschmidt.
Robert Barkley (he/him), SFWP multimedia content creator and the videographer for this intro, makes works of art intended to move people utilizing his over 16 years of professional film, acting, and music experience. His goal in all he does is to connect with himself and his belief is that doing so connects him with others. Currently, he is working on a number of soundtracks and performances, as well as a documentary titled “American Tourists.” Follow him on Instagram, Twitter, and his website.
