More details can be found at The Smoking Book blog,

the on-line edition of SMOKE.

Editors: Joy Leftow and Roxanne Hoffman
Publisher: Poets Wear Prada.

SUBMISSION POLICY

Poetry (any form or style) and Micro or Flash Fictions wanted for an anthology on SMOKE. Not just the black clouds rising from the five-alarm fire next door, or the billowing plumes of smoke warning us of a forest fire, or the emissions from smoke stacks, apartment house incinerators, and crematoriums, smoke rings rise from cigarettes, smoke pours out of head shops, pipe shops & cigar stores--see that purple haze rising over the fields of poppies and marijuana we just planted--we've used it to communicate via smoke signals and skywriting, to cover our tracks and disappear with and without mirrors, combat the enemy on and off the battlefield, kill bugs, flavor food, cure illness, declare peace treaties, and fragrance our homes. Got the idea? Release it onto the page.


Guidelines: Submit up to three poems/micro fictions or two flash fictions at a time with a fascinating bio of 35 words or less, not just limited to publication credits, copy/pasted in the body of an e-mail (no attachments, please) to roxy533(at)yahoo.com and violetwrites(at)nyc.rr.com (replace (at) with @).

We will also entertain up to six one-liners or 2 short stand-up routines at a time. Previously published work is OK, as long as authors have retained the copyright, which will be returned to them after publication. Simultaneous submissions are encouraged. If your work is accepted elsewhere, and you still have obtained rights to republish, just let us know where and we'll be happy to acknowledge the other publication.

If you do not receive a response from us within a month of your submission considered it rejected and feel free to submit again. Due to the volume of submissions we cannot respond to each and every individual submission. Selection for the on-line edition are made on an ongoing basis as we receive your submissions. However, final selection for the print edition will made after the October 31st deadline. (In other words, not everything that makes the cut for the on-line edition will appear in print.)

Please do not query. When in doubt, send the submission to roxy533(at)yahoo.com and violetwrites(at)nyc.rr.com (replace (at) with @)
