POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Museum as Muse An Arkansas International Special Feature with the University of Arkansas Museum Have you ever looked at an artifact in a museum and wondered about its story, or even began inventing the story yourself? Who used that 1930s embalming kit containing artery-hardening liquid and a shaving kit, or what happened to Mrs. Moore the day she wore her clay-colored suit made from hand-woven cloth that she hoped would help restart the loom industry? Whose windows rattled in Fayetteville as they watched this black meteorite fall to Earth? Which item would ignite your imagination? This fall the Arkansas International will collaborate with the University of Arkansas Museum to publish a special online feature highlighting writing inspired by any of the millions of artifacts in the museum’s archives. We are delighted for writers to have this opportunity to explore and find inspiration from items in the collection to create new work. Writers are invited to access the museum’s collections via this online portal featuring over 150 highlights selected by museum staff, and to browse the museum’s broader database for additional inspiration. Submissions may be poetry, fiction, non-fiction, or comics. Translated work is also welcome. Selected pieces will be published by the Arkansas International in a special online feature in the spring of 2027 by @thearkint

Huge congratulations to our 2026 Henry Dumas Prize Winner Siavash Saadlou for his incredible piece “Mi Padre”!! Judge John Keene said: “Mi Padre” is a resonant and timely work of short fiction, melding a poignant, compelling narrative with thematic depth and psychological sophistication. “Mi Padre” follows the experience of its protagonist, Jubin, an Iranian graduate student at a Milan polytechnic university, after he decides to travel to the United States to visit to friends from his undergraduate years, Pourria and Layla, who are firmly settled in their lives as immigrants in Brighton, Massachusetts. Almost as soon as Jubin arrives in the US, however, he learns in an email from his younger brother, still in Iran, that their father, Farhad, with whom Jubin has had a complicated relationship, has been beaten to death by the authorities, primarily for his activism on behalf of Iran’s Kurdish population. Farhad, the reader learns, was of Kurdish ancestry and moved to Tehran as a young man, and his increasingly visible activism on behalf of Kurdish autonomy over the years led to his social isolation and financial ruin. “Mi Padre” explores the nuances of Jubin’s grief at his father’s murder and regret at their fractured connection, his inability to share his feelings even with his longtime friends, his decision to seek asylum in the US, Jubin’s growing emotional and economic precarity, and his negotiation of the potential new life ahead of him. Throughout, “Mi Padre” demonstrates skill at every aspect of storytelling, producing a story whose details and contours linger with the reader well after finishing it. This piece will be published in Issue 20 of The Arkansas International. The publication date will be in early spring 2027. by @thearkint
