Multiverses founding announcement and call for submissions

2011-12-29T19:29:42Z

Hello everyone,

It is my honor to announce the launch of Multiverses, a new online journal dedicated to publishing modern English haiku and related forms of Japanese poetry, as well as to make an initial call for submissions for our first issue (due out in Spring of 2012). From our editorial statement:

"Each moment of our lives is a haiku waiting to happen. The unique way in which we experience these moments creates an authentic and personal reality known only to ourselves—our own little universe, so to speak. Yet we are all part of the same sum. By sharing our individual experiences and observations, we gain perspective and insight into the world of others, therefore becoming better attuned and more intimate with our own. It is with this idea in mind that Multiverses happened into existence."

We are so excited and pleased to have an incredible team of editors, including:

Paul Smith, Tanka Editor
Melissa Allen, Haibun Editor
Alexis Rotella, Haiga Editor
Johannes S. H. Bjerg, Features Editor

Please feel free to share this post and spread the word about our launch. For more information about Multiverses, including details on submitting your work (deadline for our inaugural issue is February 15!), please visit www.multiversesjournal.com. We're all looking forward to reading your work!

John Hawk
Founder, Haiku Editor

25 Tanka on the Theme of Social Realism: ATPO Call for Submissions

2011-08-27T19:17:12Z

25 Tanka on the Theme of Social Realism: Call for Submissions

Please share with any appropriate venue.

The Special Features section of the *Atlas Poetica web* site is seeking
submissions for a collection of ’25 Tanka on the Theme of Social Realism’
edited by M. Kei. Selections should address the topic of social realism,
exemplified by great works of art and literature in the field, and covering
topics such as poverty, war, violence, sex, urban life, moral decay,
politics, immigration, discrimination, rape, social injustice, alcoholism
and drug abuse, music, counterculture, desperation, disaster, crime,
terrorism, insanity, unemployment, corruptions, famine, and more.

Tanka, waka, kyoka, and gogyoshi should explore the dark underbelly of human
existence, exposing the terrors and struggles of the unhappy half of life.
This does not mean they are without beauty or grace, but that they must find
beauty amid the challenges of the world. Blunt tanka and difficult subjects
are welcome, but they must be poetry. Both pastoral and urban works are
welcome, but given the frequent presence of rural images in tanka already,
the selection will be biased to the urban and suburban environment. (Social
Realism is primarily an urban literature.)

Famous examples of Social Realism in art and literature include George
Bellows ‘Both Members of This Club’ (painting), Dorothea Lange’s ‘Depression
Mother’ (photography), Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Saleman’ (theater), and
Upton Sinclair’s ‘The Jungle’ (novel).

The general Atlas Poetica guidelines apply, therefore poets must be 16 or
older. Please visit <http://AtlasPoetica.org> for complete guidelines and to
view previous Special Features. Poems should be contained in the body of an
email. Please query before sending attachments.

Submissions: Poets are invited to send up to ten poems each, but only one
poem will be chosen by each poet, in keeping with the theme and format of
the ’25 Poems’ features on the Atlas Poetica website. Send to:
editor@AtlasPoetica.org, with a subject line of ‘Tanka for Children.’
Reprints are acceptable, as long as they include previous publication
information.

Deadline: Deadline for submitting to ’25 Tanka on the Theme of Social
Realism’ is November 30, 2011. The planned publication date is Winter
2010/2011. Special Features are published on an irregular schedule.

Email address for submissions: Editor (at) AtlasPoetica (dot) org -- subject
line: Social Realism

The editors invite writers and readers to send a memorial contribution to Betty for inclusion in this tribute. Contributions may be in any genre--a poem, and / or note of condolence. Your contributions will be added to this web page--Betty Kaplan Tribute.

Keibooks Announces Atlas Poetica 9 : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Contemporary Tanka

2011-07-27T22:00:47Z

26 July 2011 —Perryville, Maryland, USA

Today Keibooks released *Atlas Poetica 9, *the latest installment in the
highly regarded journal. The issue inaugurates several important changes
behind the scenes that improve production values and international access.
ATPO 9 is the first issue to be printed with CreateSpace (it was formerly
printed with Lulu Enterprises) and has even better paper quality and print
quality. In addition, thanks to its partnership with Amazon.com, CreateSpace
should provide a better customer experience for international customers.

Keibooks is also pleased to announce that Christina Nguyen has joined the
staff as an editorial assistant. In particular, she is assisting with
proofreading—a meticulous job given the complexity of the journal with its
international submissions, various types of verse, articles, and
announcements.

ATPO 9 continues to publish tanka, waka, kyoka, and gogyoshi, along with
sequences, prosimetrum, book reviews and announcements, and non-fiction
articles on a variety of topics. This issue has a focus on prosimetrum,
especially tanka prose, but also other examples combining five line Japanese
verse and prose. It features an in depth interview with Jeffrey Woodward
discussing the history and practice of tanka prose conducted by Claire
Everett.

Also included in this issue is a focus on Twitter poetry, with tanka, kyoka,
and gogyoshi by poets that publish on Twitter, along with articles about the
impact of Twitter on five line poetry and an informative “how to” and “why
bother” article for poets interested in trying Twitter for themselves.

Contributors to ATPO 9:

Alex von Vaupel, Amelia Fielden, Anne Benjamin, Autumn Noelle Hall, Belinda

Snapshot Press Book Awards and the Snapshot Press eChapbook Awards

2011-07-18T21:11:40Z

Dear Tanka friends

I’m writing as I hope that the Snapshot Press Book Awards and the Snapshot Press eChapbook Awards might be of interest to some of you, given that they offer rare opportunities for the publication of single author collections of tanka.

The fast-approaching deadline for the eChapbook Awards is the end of July. Tanka entries should comprise of 8-20 tanka, which may be individually published or unpublished.

Submissions for the Book Awards are open until November 30. Tanka manuscripts should comprise of 60-100 tanka.

Tanka may also be entered alongside other short poems (such as haiku) in the “short poetry” category of either Award.

Further details of the awards are available at:

http://www.snapshotpress.co.uk/contests/echapbook_awards/guidelines.htm

and

http://www.snapshotpress.co.uk/contests/book_awards/guidelines.htm

Please feel free to circulate this information to anyone you think might be interested, and many thanks in advance for any support.

I hope that through the Awards the press will continue to make a small contribution to furthering the growth of English-language tanka. For those of you relatively new to the genre, the press has a considerable history of supporting tanka, publishing the journal Tangled Hair (the first journal dedicated to English-language tanka to be published outside the US) from 1999-2006, and several individual collections. I was also an editorial advisor for The Tanka Anthology, published in 2003.

Apologies to those of you who have an interest in haiku and/or haibun and are receiving some of this information in duplicate!

All best wishes

John
