An Open Call for Love Themed Literature
Deadline: July 10, 2026
For more information please visit: https://www.buckhamgallery.org/literary-anthology-calls.html

The Buckham Fine Arts Project announces its second literary arts call for submissions to be considered for publication in an anthology, This Thing Called Love, juried by Kelsey Ronan.

We often speak of love as a destination or a fixed state, but in practice, it is living, breathing, and occasionally volatile. It can be more like a state of flux, a long journey, a mad vortex, or a series of experiments. It is the "thing" that occupies the space between two people—sometimes a bridge, sometimes a barrier, and often a mystery even to those held within its grip.

For this anthology, we are seeking work that strips away the greeting-card gloss to examine the mechanics, the mess, and the marvel of romantic connection. We want to see love not just as a feeling, but as a verb, a haunting, or a hard-won negotiation.

​The top juried piece will receive an award of $25, selected semifinalists will be included in the anthology publication and receive a complimentary copy of the publication.

About the Juror
Kelsey Ronan grew up in Flint, Michigan. Her work has appeared in Lit Hub, Michigan Quarterly Review, Indiana Review, Electric Literature, Kenyon Review, and elsewhere. She is the author of the novel Chevy in the Hole (Holt, 2022), which was a New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice, a Michigan Notable Book, and the 2022 selection for the Flint Community Read and Michigan Public Reads. She lives in Metro Detroit.

The publication and release event is scheduled for May 2027, to be held at Buckham Gallery, Flint, Michigan
