David Lavery (Brunel University, London) and Michele Byers (St. Mary's
University, Canada), the editors of this in-development book, seek
submissions on the subject of crying inspired by art.

We welcome any type of writing on the subject from memoirs and personal
essays to critical interpretations and more theoretical pieces. Contributors
may, of course, come from any discipline or field and need not be academics.

The idea for this book came out of a piece one of us wrote for an upcoming
issue of the online journal Flow. A pre-publication draft of the piece can
be read here:

http://davidlavery.net/tears.htm

We are open to pieces of any length, from a few paragraphs to 5,000 words.
Submissions should be sent as Word or .rtf e-mail attachments. Although we
prefer submission of finished pieces, we welcome your questions and
proposals as well. All correspondence should be sent to both of us via
e-mail:

david.lavery_at_gmail.com

The deadline for submissions is July 1, 2007.
