What’s that on the horizon? Is it a bat? A ship? No, it’s our double open call<\/a> for the next two titles in our Ten Poets<\/a> series! Launch your best words our way for:<\/h3>\r\nTen Poets Prowl the Seas in Search of Plunder<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\nand\r\n\r\nTen Poets Spend the Night in a Vampire’s Castle<\/a><\/strong>\r\n\r\n\"Decorative\"\r\n\r\nIf you’re not familiar with the Ten Poets<\/a> series, each title dips into a beloved pop-culture theme, from murder mysteries<\/a> to ghost stories<\/a> to erotica<\/a> to monster movies<\/a>. We want you to think creatively and show us your own take on the subject each time. Do you discover something strange? Do you think about your life on Earth? Do you make it to the moon at all?\r\n\r\nSubmissions should have the general character of a poem or poem-adjacent text, but they do not have to be straightforward lyric pieces. You could create a prose poem, vignette, short lyric essay \u2013 in fact, we encourage you to think in terms of longer, looser forms (up to 500 words). This follows the trend established over our last eight anthologies, which mixed and combined poetry with elements of essay, guidebook, puzzle, flash fiction and so on.\r\n\r\nFor more visual pieces, please note that all pages will be printed in black and white, and will be in portrait format.\r\n

Check out the submissions call<\/strong><\/a> for more information and FAQs, and feel free to email us with questions.<\/h2>\r\n
