Locked Horn Press is welcoming poems for our next anthology, Read Water: poems written in relation to bodies of water, or histories of water, or myths or fantasies or memories of water.
We want to read poems in which water implicates, evaporates, melts, carries, precipitates. Water that has been and is exploited. And protected. Water as witness, water as catalyst, as carrier, as distance, as adjoiner, as resistance, storyteller, poet, violence, love. Because of course—and with gratitude to those who carry this most—water is life.

Pieces entered for the 2017 Publication Contest should be in conversation with the LHP 2017 theme "Read Water." Please send up to 3 unpublished poems in a single file via our submittable, accessible through our website.
