The Sand Canyon Review Art and Literary Magazine

We are no longer receiving submissions for the 2025 edition of The Sand Canyon Review. If you are interested in submitting, please check back again next spring!

In the meantime, please join us at our 2025 edition preview party! We will have food and drinks. We will also have art, poetry, and fiction accepted in the magazine on display! Please join the entire SCR staff and some of our featured artists at the party on Thursday, May 15th, 2025. You can RSVP on Eventbrite. 

Here at the SCR, we aspire to create a literary and art magazine that is a collection of diverse voices from all walks of life. We strive to nurture the creative souls of our community and allow all artists to be published, giving light to their work and sharing it with the rest of the world.

Everything created is composed of the scattered pieces of something that came and vanished before. For something to be destroyed, there must first be something to destroy. This is the cycle of rebirth—of thoughts, of inventions, and, of course, of people. This endless cycle, called samsara by the Hindus and Buddhists, highlights a duality in existence: creation and destruction, beginning and ending, life and death. Inherent to rebirth is change, with the creation of one aspect coming at the expense of another—an alchemical process, it seems. Rebirth can be as soft and gentle as a whisper or as bright and loud as an atomic bomb blast, but either way, the impact of this re-creation leaves the world forever changed. The theme of Rebirth focuses on the ideas of transformation, renewal, and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
