from poet Christine Hamm:
Like a Fat Gold Watch: I am collecting an anthology of poems and more that
celebrate Sylvia Plath's life and work, but do not fetishize her suicide and
death. Please submit your poems about Sylvia Plath for an anthology to come out
in Fall of 2011. All poems must be either a response to her work, or her life,
with one caveat — they cannot be about death or suicide. Work will be looked at
more favorably if it responds to, for example, The Bee Poems, rather than
"Daddy" or "Lady Lazarus". The book will be published through Fat Gold Watch
Press. Authors will get reduced price copies.
Please send three to five poems as either an rtf or doc attachment. I cannot
accept docx. For the subject heading, please write, Sylvia poems, your name. For
the cover letter, please include a short bio — 150 words or less, and describe
how your poems are a response to her work or life. If there's a particular poem
you are responding to, please tell me its name. Submissions are due July 15,
2010, and you should hear back by September 15. I am also considering essays,
shorter than ten pages (double spaced), and black and white artwork.
The anthology will not be published if there is an insufficient amount of
submissions.
Send submissions to: ceehamm@gmail.com
