Magnapoets themed anthologies Spring & Summer 2011, and Journal

Magnapoets will be publishing two themed anthologies in spring and summer 2011. All forms of poetry are welcome. Previously unpublished poems are preferred, but previously published material will be considered. Submissions will be open from September 1, 2010 – January 1, 2011. Send all submissions (up to five poems per submission) to Magnapoets AT Gmail DOT com.  

Theme One, Series 3: Love. Romantic love, platonic love, unrequited love, absence of love, any and all explorations of the theme of love are welcome. Be sure to place “Love Anthology” in the subject line.

Theme Two, Series 4: Epiphanies explored as loosely or personally as the writer chooses. What experiences or events, large or small, transformed your life? Be sure to place “Epiphany Anthology” in the subject line.

No stipend fees or contributors’ copies will be given. As with our first two anthologies, titles will be chosen from submitted poems. The authors whose poems inspired the titles will receive one complimentary copy each.
 
And a reminder that submissions are still open to our Proust Questionnaire feature for the Magnapoets journal July 2011 issue.  The Proust Questionnaire is a series of questions made famous by Marcel Proust and it's used often as writing prompts in poetry workshops. It can be answered as light-heartedly or seriously as you'd like. You can answer as many or as few questions as you choose. This feature is open til February 1, 2011.

2.) What is your greatest fear?

3.) Which historical figure do you most identify with?

4.) Which living person do you most admire?

5.) What is the trait you most deplore in yourself?

6.) What is the trait you most deplore in others?

7.) What is your greatest extravagance?

8.) On what occasion do you lie?
