Call for submissions: 25 Tanka Poets from the British Isles
The Special Features section of the Atlas Poetica (ATPO) website is
seeking submissions for a collection of 25 Tanka Poets from the British
Isles to be edited by Jon Baldwin.
New and established Tanka poets from the British Isles are invited to
submit new tanka that foreground the diverse landscapes and cityscapes,
community and culture, identity and idioms, of the British Isles.
Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Contemporary Tanka is an
international journal that publishes tanka literature in many languages.
However, it can be difficult for readers and poets to find venues to enjoy
tanka in different languages and cultures. Therefore, we have created a
Special Features section to focus attention on tanka traditions around the
world. We are looking for unpublished work from both established writers
and writers new to the form. We are open to subject matter and treatment;
shocking is fine, but material that is offensive (racist, pornographic,
etc.) is not wanted. Please send us your best work.
Submissions: Poets are invited to send up to six tanka each, but only one,
if selected, will published, in keeping with the theme and format of the
‘25 Poems’ features on the Atlas Poetica website. Send to:
j.baldwin@londonmet.ac.uk, with a subject line of ‘25 Tanka Poets from the
British Isles’
Before submitting, please go to
http://www.AtlasPoetica.org<http://www.atlaspoetica.org/>.
All the usual
guidelines for Atlas Poetica apply. Potential contributors should
familiarize themselves with the Special Features and the full ATPO
guidelines.
Deadline: Deadline for submitting to 25 Tanka Poets from the British Isles
is July 31, 2011. The planned publication date is Autumn 2011. Special
Features are published on an irregular schedule.
Email address for submissions: j.baldwin@londonmet.ac.uk — subject line:
25 Tanka Poets from the British Isles.
