cream city review is pleased to formally announce our theme for the Fall 2010 issue, for which we will be reading now (1 August 2009) through 1 November 2009.

In recognition of text as object, cream city review is looking for work revolving around the concept of visual. This can include: visual elements within text; writing that explores visuals, their consequences, their boundaries; ekphrastic writing; diagrams; pictographs. These are not the limits; the best work will surprise us and encourage readers to seek and consider the visual in unfamiliar and refreshing terms.
