The deadline for submissions for Landfall: Poetry of Place in Modern English Tanka (due for release in Summer 2007) expired yesterday, June 15^th. A tremendous amount of fine tanka were submitted, for which we thank all the poets. We will be in touch again as we work through the selection and layout processes.

Please remember that submissions remain open for "Streetlights: Poetry of Urban Life in Modern English Tanka," to be published in Fall 2007. Please send submissions of up to forty tanka in the body of an email (no attachments) to Michael McClintock at mchlmcclintock@aol.com. Be sure to include in your subject line: Streetlights—-Submissions—-Your Last Name. Also, make sure that the author’s name is included under EACH poem submitted, even if submitted as a set. Please do not include credits for previously published work in your initial submission; you will be asked to supply this information when final selections are made. We will require only one-time rights to print publication. The Streetlights submissions deadline is July 31st. We plan to publish Streetlights during Fall 2007. We hope that you will contribute some of your best work to Streetlights.

The Editors, Streetlights
