calls for submissions for THE POETIC
BOND III
THE POETIC BOND is back for a third volume.
Call for Submissions for THE POETIC BOND III – 2 April to 30 June
2013
After the success of the first two anthologies, THE POETIC BOND is
expanding, taking on a greater volume of poetry, and marketing to an
ever increasing pool of interest.
As before each entry is reviewed by a panel of anonymous
readers who will recommend work to the editor.
The editor will then seek to group together the selected work
on the basis of congruent themes and the emergent zeitgeist as a
whole.
There was no specific brief in the expectation that the themes and
style of the anthology will evolve organically. The purpose in
putting together this anthology is to harness poetry through social
media and to engage actively in sharing poetry with other poets and
bringing poetry to general public. The resulting volume, I believe, will set out a portfolio of work from a representative group of poets which will not only illuminate, educate, and entertain, but also will show how poetry, and in fact all Art, reveals and shares our humanity. This year all poet submitting can receive a reader's report for their work if they so wish. There is a submission fee of £7/$12, guidelines and entry details can be found at http://www.thepoeticbond.com/PB2013S.htm
The Poetic Bond series is edited by poet and playwright Trevor
Maynard, author of KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON (2012); LOVE, DEATH AND THE
WAR ON TERROR (2009), and FOUR TRUTHS (2010).

Call for submissions: Voicewalks The Durham Book Festival team at New Writing North is working with the Hearing the Voice project at Durham University on a special series of events which will take place during this year’s festival. (In our 28 March newsletter, we introduced post-doctoral research associate Will Viney, who’s working on the collaboration.) As part of the project, we’d like to invite writers of all levels to contribute to a pamphlet of poetry, prose and non-fiction in English about hearing voices when walking in the city. In addition to a specially-commissioned piece by Iain Sinclair, StepAway magazine will publish a special issue of a collection of walking narratives by both voice-hearers and writers who creatively imagine hearing voices. Submissions can be as long as a 1,000-word essay or story, or as short as a 17-syllable haiku. Submissions can be named or anonymous, as the writers wish. Deadline: 1 August 2013. For full details and to apply, see http://hearingthevoice.org. |
