Call for Submissions: Asian American Anthology

Call for tangible, earthy, edgy poetry by Asian American female ethnic
writers to include poets with Middle Eastern, East Indian, and Pacific
Islander heritage. Editor thrilled by vibrant, diverse voices and subjects,
special surprises in approaching the page, and how you beat the drum of
language.

Please use the following submission guidelines:

Send up to three poems. The manuscript should total no more than seven
pages. Each poem must be 20 lines or more. Poems should be typed in Times
New Roman, 12-point font on white paper.
All margins should be set at 1.25. Please include your name, address, phone
number, and a working email address on EACH poem submitted. The email
address is very important so that we can correspond if necessary. Include a
biography of no more than 50 words on a separate page. (Biographies are
subject to revision by editor for space considerations.) Include a short
statement of your heritage as an Asian American poet.

Be sure to include a stamped self-addressed envelope for response.
