Seeking Poems About Social
Justice.
 |
|
BenuPress Editors Steve Fellner and Phil Young
are in the process of creating an anthology about social justice. These are the
requirements for the poems:
1.) The poem deals with social justice, not simply a social issue. In other
words there has to be someaction or suggestion of resistance or dealing with a
social issue, not justhaving a social issue somewhere in the background.
2.) The poem offers an element of hope. This hope can be somewhat ambiguous, but
at least some level of hope has to be detectable to the average reader. Think
“Daybreak in Alabama” by Langston Hughes.
3.) The poem is an “accessible narrative or lyric that contains elements of
genuine drama or comedy.”
4.) If the poem were a movie, it would have to receive somewhere between a G and
PG-13 rating.
They would really like to include a poem of yours in Love Rise Up. If
interested, please send them apoem(s) for them to look at as a Word document.
They would like it emailed it to
sfellne@brockport.edu or pyoung@brockport.edu.
They would happily look at new work or previously published. They are responsible
for paying all fees, so they would appreciate a waiver.
Contributors will include D.A. Powell, Martin Espada, Denise Duhamel, Rigoberto
Gonzalez, David Kirby, Sean Thomas Dougherty, Barbara Hamby, Cheryl Dumesnil,
FadyJoudah, Rebecca Livingston, Alison Joseph, Laura Kasischke, Idra Novey,
EliotKhalil Wilson, Martha Collins, David Baker, Jason Schneiderman, Minnie
BrucePratt, among others.
When the anthology appears (in Fall 2010, tentatively), all contributors
will receive one copy. Please call 585-637-4607 or e-mail if you have any
questions.
The deadline is January 15.
JUNE COTNER
Editor of the bestselling Graces and 16 other anthologies, including Animal
Blessings and Wedding Blessings, seeks
short, universal, interfaith prayers and spiritual poems for the following
hardcover anthologies:
BIRTHDAY BLESSINGS:
Inspiring Poems and Prayers to Celebrate
all Birthdays This book will feature selections that can be used to
celebrate birthdays of family members and friends of all ages. Chapters include:
Babies and Toddlers, Children, Teens, Decade Birthdays (21st
Birthday, 30th Birthday, 40th Birthday, 50th
Birthday, 60th Birthday, 70th Birthday, 80th
Birthday, 90th Birthday, 100th Birthday), Friends,
Relatives (husband, wife, mother, father, siblings, grandparents, aunts and
uncles, and nieces and nephews), and Anytime Birthdays (general wishes for
anyone's birthday). Please keep in mind that the pieces need to be universal;
imagine the family down the street reading one of your pieces for their own
birthday celebrations. For tone of book, please refer to Family Celebrations.
Lots of submissions for all categories needed.
Submission date is open.
365 BLESSINGS: A Year of
Inspiration, Comfort, and Gratitude (previously titled 2007 EVERYDAY
BLESSINGS Calendar). Sourcebooks published my 2006 EVERYDAY BLESSINGS
Calendar. They have decided not to publish a 2007 calendar because the
market for boxed calendars is "trending down." However, my agent thinks we could
take the same concept and make it a book. I cannot pay a permission fee,
but you would receive one book for each piece published. Since I need 300+
pieces for the book vs. 100+ pieces for one of my regular anthologies, your
chances of being published in this book are a good 300% higher than in one of my
other books. When writing submissions, picture a 365-day book with the title
"Everyday Blessings" - how would you like to be inspired throughout the day?
Keep your submissions to 24 lines or less including stanza breaks. If your
submission would work as a specific date (such as a holiday) or seasonal match,
please mention this in your cover letter or attach a sticky note to your
selection. Submission date is open.
EVERYDAY INSPIRATION™ Series I’m creating a gift book series that will
function as an extended greeting card. One mini-book, Because I Love You,
Mom, will celebrate mothers; one will celebrate grandmothers; another will
celebrate the bond between sisters; and the last one will celebrate the bond
between friends. Your submissions should be short (ideally 12 lines or less).
They need to be both universal enough to appeal to someone other than your own
relative or friend and specific enough that the recipient feels the piece
was written for her or him. Your words should help nurture a strong bond between
the buyer and the recipient of the book. Please mark the outside of your
envelope, "Mothers," "Grandmothers," "Sisters," or "Friends." Submission date
is open.
FAMILY TRADITIONS: THE 100 BEST IDEAS FOR CREATING A LEGACY OF LOVE.
Does your family have a certain ritual that you feel is unique? Something that
other families might appreciate knowing about? Was there a fun or meaningful
activity in your childhood that brings back warm feelings? Here are some
categories of traditions to consider: weddings, anniversaries, new babies,
christenings, birthdays, graduations, family reunions, housewarmings, memorial
services, family vacations, and retirement, as well as all of the holidays. You
can also submit any idea not related to the above categories, such as a
mother/daughter or father/son activity. The book will likely have the same trim
size as Family Celebrations. I am looking for prose submissions (not
poetry), limited to approximately 180-word increments and ideally no longer than
360 words, which represent two pages in the book. If you can limit your
description to 180 words (one page), so much the better! Submission date is
open.
GIRLS NIGHT OUT: POEMS, INSPIRATION, AND REFLECTIONS (Previously titled A
WOMEN’S BOOK OF POETRY FOR THE SOUL) Over the past decade I’ve received
countless amazing submissions from female writers that never quite fit the
particular theme of my current project. These are poems about womanhood, stages
of life, memories, and everything in between. As a result, I created this book
to compile the breath-taking poetry that simply would not fit into a typical
"inspirational book." I would love to add a few more high-quality submissions.
This book is definitely "edgier" than my other books. Chapters include: Our
Bond, Spirituality, Shared Experiences, Grief and Healing, Partings, Love, and
Reflections. The submissions shouldn’t have an "I am woman, hear me roar" tone,
but more "this is my experience as a woman." The collection will be for women to
turn to when they need hope and understanding. Submission date is open.
WHAT IS LOVE? This is a prose collection of short
thoughts, submitted by people of all ages, answering the simple question, "What
is love?" For those who are 19 and under, please list your age. Adults: Feel
free to ask this question to children of all ages, then write and submit their
answers. The first book in the series will likely be selections written by
elementary school children. If you are an elementary school teacher (or a parent
volunteer), I'd be happy to email you a handout that describes this project,
gives examples, and ideas about how to collect submissions. Submission
date is open.
WISDOM OF WOMEN: THOUGHTS AND POEMS FOR EVERY STAGE OF
YOUR LIFE (Previously titled Girls Night Out and A Woman's Book of
Poetry for the Soul) Over the past decade I’ve received wonderful
submissions from female writers that never quite fit the particular theme of my
general "inspirational" books. These are poems and prose about womanhood,
stages of life, memories, and everything in between. I would love to add a few
more high-quality selections--poetry or prose. Unlike most of my other
anthologies, there are no prayers in the book, but there is a chapter on
Spirituality. The content of WISDOM OF WOMEN is much "edgier" than my other
books. Chapters include: 1) The Strength of Us; 2) Relationships; 3)
Motherhood; 4) Ordinary Life; 5) Self-Image and Beauty; 6)
Aging Gracefully; 7) Heartache and Healing; 8) Joy and Gratitude; 9)
Friendships; 10) Shared Experiences; 11) Spirituality; 12) Reflections; and
13) Inspiration. JC particularly needs submissions
for chapters printed in bold. The submissions should not have an "I am
woman, hear me roar" tone, but more "this is my experience as a woman." The
collection will be for women to turn to when they need encouragement,
understanding, inspiration, and to reflect upon the great blessings of being a
woman. This book easily spans two generations and is geared to women in their
early adulthood to later years and beyond.
Submission date closes March 31, 2010.
*TERMS: Terms are generally $25 + one complimentary copy
of the book for each poem published for one-time rights. You retain all rights.
If the book's advance is small, I can't always guarantee $25/poem, but I do my
best! At the minimum, you will receive a complimentary book for each poem
published.

Announcing the first in the "Guest Editor Series" of Lame Goat Press books.
I'm looking for stories (1000-5000 words) about a character who has an inner
fear. Whether it's your inner fear or a fear of one of your characters
doesn't matter to me. The genre will obviously be horror, but I'll be
flexible on what other elements it has (sci-fi, fantasy, etc.). I'd prefer
third person stories where the fear really grips the reader. I'll accept
some first person narratives if they're well written, but as I'll probably
receive an abundance of those, they must be VERY well written to be
accepted.
Also, I'm looking for ONE poem with which to open the anthology. I'll only
accept one story per writer, but if you were to send in a poem and a story,
then I might accept both.
Unless I absolutely fall in love with a story, I won't be accepting anything
until after the deadline, which is
December 20th, 2009.
Word count for this anthology is expected to be around 80,000 words. Please
send in your stories in .rtf format. Please include a cover letter with your
name, address, e-mail address, phone number, and publication history. Also,
a short author's biography of around 100 words.
Look for this to go in print in 2010. I'll be able to give you a better idea
when a few months down the line, but 2010, as a broad estimate, should be
fairly accurate. Lame Goat Press is in its infancy, so, unfortunately, we
cannot afford to compensate our writers at this time. This will be the third
anthology that we produce, so we're hoping to be able to begin giving out
contributor copies soon, but no promises. All I can promise you right now is
that you'll have a writing credit if we accept your story.
Please send submissions to William Wolford at
wgwolford@gmail.com with "Inner Fear submission" in the subject line. If
you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me about them. Good luck!
If you have any interest in providing the cover art for this particular
antho, contact me at
cjacobsmeyer@msn.com.
