Ships of Hagoth is a digital-first literary magazine featuring creative nonfiction and theoretical essays by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Where other LDS-centric publications often look inward at the LDS tradition, we seek literary works that look outward through the curious, charitable lens of faith.

A character from Joji (Puthumala, Pathanamthitta) speaks a specific Christian agrarian slang, while a character from Nayattu speaks the rough, police-station Malayalam of the northern districts. This attention to dialect is something audiences in other states rarely experience. It validates the diversity within the small state.

The state's rich oral traditions, martial arts (Kalaripayattu), and ritual art forms (like Theyyam and Kathakali) have provided a golden well of inspiration.

Modern films find universal appeal by becoming intensely local. Maheshinte Prathikaaram (2016) is a masterclass in capturing the specific rhythms of life in the hilly Idukki district.

The foundation of Malayalam cinema is deeply intertwined with Kerala’s rich literary tradition and the social reform movements of the 20th century.

Traditional art forms and festivals are woven into film narratives. The vibrant colors of Thrissur Pooram , the rhythmic beats of Chenda Melam , and the ritualistic performances of Theyyam and Kathakali frequently drive plots. For example, Kaliyattam adapted Shakespeare's Othello against the backdrop of the sacred Theyyam ritual of North Malabar, highlighting how ancient art forms remain relevant to contemporary human emotions.

The DNA of Malayalam cinema is explicitly tied to Kerala’s rich literary tradition and the socio-political movements of the 20th century. The Literary Intersect

Kerala’s distinctive geography—its ubiquitous backwaters, monsoon rains, spice plantations, and crowded, narrow coastal strips—is not just a scenic backdrop but an active narrative agent in its cinema.

A CALL FOR

SUB
MISS
IONS

We are hoping—for “one must needs hope”—for creative nonfiction, theoretical essays, and craft essays that seek radical new ways to explore and express theological ideas; that are, like Hagoth, “exceedingly curious.”

We favor creative nonfiction that can trace its lineage back to Michel de Montaigne. Whether narrative, analytical, or devotional, these essays lean ruminative, conversational, meandering, impressionistic, and are reluctant to wax didactic. 

As for theoretical essays: we welcome work that playfully and charitably explores the wide world of arts & letters—especially works created from differing religious, non-religious, and even irreligious perspectives—through the peculiar lens of a Latter-day Saint.

We read and publish submissions as quickly as possible, and accept simultaneous submissions.
