Calling For Gay and Lesbian Jewish Poetry Submissions
A Midsummer Night's Press announces a call for submissions for 2 anthologies celebrating queer Jewish poetry to be published Spring 2011:
Flamboyant: A Celebration of Jewish Gay Poetry edited by Lawrence Schimel and Milk And Honey: A Celebration of Jewish Lesbian Poetry edited by Julie R. Enszer. We welcome voices from across the spectrum of Jewish identity, from observant to merely cultural, and their intersections with gay, lesbian,bisexual, and transgender identities and experiences. We are open to all styles of poetry, from formal to free verse. We welcome queer Jewish voices from outside the US, and are willing to consider translations into English. (It is the translator's responsibility to secure permission to reprint the poem in English.) Both anthologies are open to previously published work, but it is the poet's responsibility to secure permission to reprint the poem. Submission instructions: Title file with the initials of the anthology and author's last name: F-Surname.doc or MH-Surname.doc Include your name, your mailing address, your email address, and a bio WITHIN the .doc file with your essay, as submissions will be separated from emails to be read. Submit your work by email, as an attachment in .doc or .rtf format, to queerjewishpoetry@gmail.com. Deadline: November 30, 2010.
