Call for submissions: Sycthe Literary Journal

From those cut-ups who bring you the Joe Milford Poetry Show comes the Sycthe Literary Journal, currently seeking submissions. In their words...
_______________

Send poems and prose-poems. Send us 3-5 of the ones that haunt you, the ones that deserve homes--prodigal orphans, the ones who stand at the edge of the forest and peer in, the ones who tend to stick in your craw. Send us the ones who like to fly too close to the sun. Send us the ones with the gut-wounds. Send us the ones with splinters in their thumbs, irregular polish on their toes. Send us the ones who smile from the corners of broken windows. The rickety pawnshop robots that still somehow work. We like those--we have a beer and some fried chicken for them. A guitar they can play with woodsy strings on it. A good sofa. A library burning like a hearth crackling.

We accept double submissions as long as you notify us abruptly and immediately when your work has been accepted elsewhere lest you face guillotine.

If you want to send these poems by fiber optical (we prefer email submissions), include your full name, a biography, and the poems in the body of an email and send them to: chenelle23@gmail.com

Please do not send attachments for poems or biographies. You may attach a photo.

Reading period for Summer issue opens on Mayakovsky's death, April 14th and ends on July 21st, death of Robbie Burns.

Reading period for Winter issue opens August 12th, death of William Blake and closes on Halloween. Winter issue is dedicated to Emily Dickinson, born in December.

Ninth Annual "Song of Myself" Marathon - Sunday, June 3

This event isn't in Seattle, but it's almost worth flying out to New York to take part. My friend and fellow-alum Karen Karbiener, possibly the best Whitman professor of our generation, organized the first of these marathon readings of "Song of Myself" nine years ago, and it's become a tradition. If you're in New York, don't miss it.

_________________________

Ninth Annual Marathon Reading of "Song of Myself"
Sunday, June 3, 2012, 3:00-5:30 p.m.
The Granite Prospect in Brooklyn Bridge Park (Pier One)... free!

Led by NYU Professor Karen Karbiener, this year's event will feature Martin Espada, current Poet-in-Residence at the Walt Whitman Birthplace. We'll hear Whitman's words in full view of his beloved Mannahatta from Brooklyn's front stoop.

If you'd like to read, email songofmyself2012@gmail.com with your favorite three sections of "Song of Myself" (using the 1891-1892 edition's breakdown of 52 sections). Readings will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.

Call for submissions: Brusque

For the masochistic among us....I suppose this entitles you to tell the editors what you think of their opinions....or buck teeth.

<<-- Brusque's editor, Stevie Edwards.

Poetry acceptances need more flattery and rejections need more snark. Expect responses ranging from "This poem is so beautiful it makes me weep" to"Meh" to "Reading this poem makes me want a cartoon anvil to pulverize my skull."

Submit by July 31st to have your work considered for Brusque's inaugural issue, scheduled to come out in September 2012. Publication will be highly selective.

Submission instructions are at: http://www.brusquemagazine.com/submissions.html

Scribus – Residencies for writers and digital media artists in Manchester

ArtFunkl is delighted to offer the new Scribus series of Residencies for writers or digital media artists.

The Writers/Digital Media Residency is based at ArtFunkl, Manchester and runs alongside the already established Artists residency programme. It is aimed at providing a quiet, self contained place for Writers or Digital Media Artists to facilitate a period of concentrated production. Writers/Artists taking part in this residency will be able to be part of the small community of ArtFunkl if desired, but also have the option of being solitary and quiet.

Residency dates:

Scribus 04 – 4 weeks (24 October – 20 November 2012)

Scribus 05 – 4 weeks (22 November – 19 December 2012)

Deadline: June 21, 2012

Accommodation for the writers residency is in a large quiet room on the garden side of the property. The room is divided into Sleeping and Working areas, and it is very flexible how these can be arranged. For Digital Media Artists access to a digital projector can be arranged if required.

The Special Residency project is aimed at people who would like a period of calm in order to carry out a substantial body of work, but would still like to be able to dip into the vibrant city life of Manchester from time to time.

Studio/Room Fees:

£109 per week

For details and application forms, visit the ArtFunkl website.
