The Wall IS cOMING TO tOWN...wHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY ABOUT IT, pOET?!
ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS
FOR
"poets Facing The Wall" Poetry Anthology
To build "THE WALL" or not to build "THE WALL"? That is the question. Will it curtail the flow of illegal immigration? Or is it merely a symbol of unwelcome to immigrants from south of the U.S. border?
Like Liberty Island features the Statue of Liberty welcoming Europeans with a warm poetic phrase ("Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..."), so too does the US/Mexico border deserve poetry to adorn the otherwise featureless, cold, and faceless barrier that like an extended, flat-sided hand will stop THOSE immigrants in their tracks, turning them back to whence they came.
GUIDELINES
Submissions for POETRY are open from
February 28, 2018 to July 1, 2018.
Deadline is 11:59 pm July 1st.
We accept up to three (3) poems (English, Spanish, or mix/bilingual) of up to two pages in length. No previously published work accepted.
Submit your work as a Word document along with a short bio to:
theravingpress@gmail.com
Incomplete submissions will be rejected.
Further guidelines:
Please submit works that are compelling, passionate, and well-thought-out. Please do not submit rants, name-calling treatises, or exercises in distaste. Write as if you are talking to a family member whom you don't hate, and whose view of the world is diametrically opposed to yours.
