The Sand Canyon Review Art and Literary Magazine
The Sand Canyon Review is currently accepting submissions for our Rebirth-themed 2025 issue! 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 from 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. And inherent to rebirth is change, with the creation of some 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.
