Apricity Press is an annual online publication of poetry, prose, short fiction, visual art, and dance works. Embodying the obsolete word it was named after, Apricity aims to manifest the feeling of the warmth of the sun in the winter in all that it publishes.
Established in 2015, Apricity Press was created to fill an immense void in the publishing world. While there are a myriad of presses, literary journals and magazines, many lack the ability to publish multi-genre works, especially dance works. Because of this, Apricity constructed a space where incredible literary, art, and dance works could be published side by side, showcasing the tremendous inherent connections between the forms. Incredible work deserves to be seen. Review our submission guidelines and submit your work during our reading period! |
Apricity looks for work that does not sit quietly and remain in the grammatical/structural/societal constraints placed on its genres.
Apricity does not rely on outdated definitions of what art should consist of and therefore looks for work that makes clear choices on what it wants to do, not what it feels like it has to do. |
As Gore Vidal once said, "The unfed mind devours itself", and it is Apricity's belief that great art needs both a place to see and be seen in order to feed the creative mind.
Creative acts are one of the most profound and powerful things any human being can do. Apricity is proud to publish those profound works and to inspire others to create their own fervent art that needs to be shared. |
In addition to publishing work from many different types of artists, Apricity is committed to publishing works that often do not have a place within most publishing communities, such as dance and visual poetry works.
By publishing these works, Apricity highlights the profound connections between genres, as well as the incredible work itself. |
