Jeff,
Hello ! My name is Jerome, and I help organize a new, small photography group here in Los Angeles. I have an idea for a project involving poetry. Maybe we could collaborate? Basically we could take poems written or selected by your member artists and attempt to expose photographs that capture what the essence of the poem means to us, or a message given directly by the poet/writer? And vice versa! We expose photographs, be they abstract, macro, street or any other genre, and your group attempts to expose them through words?
Photographs narrated by the master poets?
What's do you think ?! These clubs are great, but lets collaborate !

Please send up to five pages of your best work to bonebouquet@gmail.com. Your work should appear as an .rtf attachment or in the body of the email. Also include a short (50 word) biographical note.

Call for submissions: Packingtown Review
The editors of Packingtown Review, a journal of the University of Illinois at Chicago, published by the University of Illinois Press, invite submissions for its second issue to be released in 2010. The journal publishes creative work including: drama, poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction, and literary translation.
We also seek submission of scholarly papers, including interdisciplinary scholarship, literary criticism, comparative literature, critical theory, rhetorical studies, cultural studies, and political theory.
We also accept for consideration interviews; critical reviews of books, films and the arts in general; genre-bending work that explores or challenges form; and graphic art and photographs.
Whether scholarly or literary, we welcome edgy, fresh writing that may be experimental or that explores boundary crossings of/between genre(s) and form(s). What does it mean when poetry and prose are indistinguishable? What is lost (or found) in translation? When literary form is fluid, what happens to the relationship between art and criticism? Between the creative and the scholarly?
Please send up to 8,000 words (excerpts of longer works are acceptable) of prose (or genre-bending pieces), 40 pages of drama, or 3 to 5 poems (no more than 10 pages) to:
