CapGun 3 was designed by Will Hubbard, and printed and bound in an edition of 250 at CapGun Press in Brooklyn, NY. The title face, Gotham, was created by Tobias Frere-Jones in 2000 to approximate vernacular lettering found throughout New York City. The text is set in Bulmer, which was used by John Boydell in 1805 for his famous, gilded, and financially ruinous edition of Shakespeare.

We are a print magazine.

Submissions of 3-5 poems, 10 pages of prose, or 4-5 images are taken any time of the day or night by electronic mail.

You may address queries to submit [at] capgunmag.com. Please include “CapGun3 submission” in the subject line!

Our tastes skew experimental, so no epiphanies, please.

We only accept e-mail submissions of poetry, fiction and images. Please paste the text of your document into your e-mail. If your piece has images or difficult formatting, please query us first, via the e-mail address above.

We also publish select non-fiction, but be familiar with what we publish before querying us on the subject. Don’t send us a research piece about bulimia in the former Soviet Union. We get it, we totally do, but it’s not for us.

We pay by the word, but we’re not out of negative cents yet. Stick with us.

ABSENCE

Sun on the edges of leaves,
patterns of distant pleasure,
all that it meant
now gathered together.

Days all was away
and the clouds were far off
and the sky was heaven itself,
one wanted to stay

alone forever perhaps
where no one was,
and here again it is
still where it was.

The theme of Issue 2 is, as Alex puts it, “writing about emotions or sensations that have never been felt before in human history.”

We’re looking for like eight more poems. And art. Send us your best!

You can check out our live and current affliates, This Recording and Royal Oak Salon.

To quote from our influential first issue, “this thing is about wanting to set a bomb off but instead swallowing some spit in a dark tunnel alone.”
