Call for Submissions: September

 

If you have additional journals or calls for submissions that should be listed here, send me an e-mail at LaoWritersMN@Gmail.com.

In addition to standard calls for submission from the Kartika Review, Cha, Lantern Review, and the Journal of Southeast Asian American Education and Advancement, the Innsmouth Free Press and the Journal for Dracula Studies, be sure to check out some of these interesting calls that have been issued:

Open the City: Drunken Boat, alongside the Asian American Writers' Workshop, seek works in a variety of media (poems, artworks, essays, photography, translations, architectural blueprints, videos, web work, mixed media, documentary, theatrical production) that respond to the question of Asian and Middle Eastern-American populations in urban spaces. These can take a particular city as point of departure, can verge to cities around the world, engaging with the notion of how the forces of displacement and accretion intersect to create identity in a particular environment. We envision Chinatown, Little India, mosques in metropolitan areas, ethnic groceries, foreign film theaters, etc. all as possible sites for investigation. Deadline: October 1st. Make sure to select Asian-Americans on the City as your submission's genre.

Journal of Renga & Renku includes a variety of content that will interest Asian Studies scholars as well as teachers and students of English literature/poetry; we believe it will also be of interest to poets experimenting with the writing of collaborative linked verse in a number of languages around the world today, and to practitioners exploring aspects of renku and its za as an educational/social/therapeutic tool.
