Sargasso
A Journal of Caribbean Literature, Language & Culture
Sargasso, a peer-reviewed journal of literature, language, and culture edited at the University of Puerto Rico, features critical essays, interviews, book reviews, as well as poems and short stories. Published from the University of Puerto Rico at Río Piedras for more than thirty-five years, Sargasso is affiliated with the Ph.D. program in Caribbean Literature and Linguistics in the Department of English of the College of Humanities. Either two issues or a single double issue are produced each academic year. The latest Sargasso issues are on display in the Richardson Seminar Room. These are available in the Sargasso office and they can also be purchased by mail. The journal’s past publications can be accessed free of charge via Digital Library of the Caribbean. Additionally, the journal has a Facebook page.
Sargasso particularly welcomes material written by and about the people of the Caribbean region and its multiple diasporas. Essays and critical studies should conform to the style of the MLA Handbook unless other specifications are provided for a particular issue. Short stories should be kept to no more than 2,500 words in length, and poems should be kept to thirty lines or less. Potential contributors are asked to keep in mind that recent issues have been organized around specific themes. Submissions should be sent in response to a specific call for submissions. Authors submitting their work should consult the Contributor Guidelines posted here.
