Submission invitation for a new book of poetry:
Following a very successful gathering of 100 Thousand Poets for Change in Sheboygan, Wisconsin in September 2018, we are looking to create an anthology of poems that speaks to the broadly defined theme of "migration." This includes migration (of people, animals, and ideas), immigration (in current events and throughout history), cultural movement through time and space, taking root in a place, finding home wherever we find ourselves, and being a collaborative citizen of the world.
Like we said, it is a BROAD theme. The collection is tentatively called From Everywhere a Little: A Migration Anthology from 100 Thousand Poets for Change and it is inspired by the words of Uruguayan singer/songwriter Jorge Drexler who wrote in his song Movimiento (Movement):
“I'm not from here
But you're not either
From nowhere entirely
From everywhere a little”
But you're not either
From nowhere entirely
From everywhere a little”
We invite all poets living in the United States to submit their best work. We prefer poems that do not exceed one page (38 lines, 70 characters per line), but we will make exceptions if warranted. We prefer new poems, but will consider previously published poetry with acknowledgements.. Please send 1-3 poems in the body of an email to:
migration.poemsATgmailDOTcom (Change AT to @ and DOT to . )
by January 15, 2019. Use the subject line: Submission: Migration. Also include your contact information: full name and email address.
Contributors receive one copy.
There is no submission fee.
The co-editors of this endeavor, Dawn Hogue and Lisa Vihos, look forward to your submissions.
