This is a call for poetry submissions for a collection thematically centered on adoption. All types of poetry and prose poems are acceptable up to 500 words. The collection will not only serve as a stand alone example of beautiful and engaging work, but will also contribute as a companion piece to courses that deal with the intermingling of behavior, family, and society. Multiple perspectives are encouraged and welcomed.

Deadline: 15 August 2009

For Submissions:
Please submit no more than two pieces to poetrycfp@gmail.com. In the subject line please type "Adoption Poetry." In the body of the e-mail please include your name, mailing address, e-mail, phone number, title of your piece(s) and a brief bio (no more than four sentences). Include your poem(s) in the body of your message; we will not open attachments.

We will respond as soon as possible (typically less than two weeks). Multiple submissions are acceptable.
