Thanks Maria! I have no motivation right now to write or submit or anything. My kid has been waking up at 3-4 am every day, ready to go go go have fun, eat breakfast, oh my. I just want to sleep, all the time. To sleep the unreachable sleep.

But I will definately be looking at this one more carefully.

Black Magma

Everyone,

I am launching a new journal in September called Black Magma and would like to publish poetry and prose (both fiction and journalism) from the Literotica community.

I would also welcome photos, art and illustrations (in JPEG format) for the launch issue (it will be an online quarterly journal)

Some more helpful guidelines:

Poetry:

E-mail between 3 and 5 poems, any subject/length (either in the body of the e-mail or as Ms Word attachments)

Fiction:

I am interested in both short short stories (such as fables et al) and longer pieces. Will consider most genres apart from erotica and romance. Lengthwise, up to 3,000 words.

Journalism:

I am looking for balanced (not opinionated) pieces covering topics that are relevant in the world today and also for pieces from where you are. Has anything interesting happened where you are? Any real life stories?

Make sure your poetry and prose has been spell checked. Please remember to enclose a bio, written in the third person and mention any publications you have been published in.

Then e-mail me at:

blackmagmapoetry@hotmail.co.uk

I will get back to you as quick as I can

Thank you,

Christian

 

[annaswirls]

Congrats! What a big step!

What sort of thing are you looking for? Not erotic.... hmm....this might be a stretch for me

Tell us more about your new venture please!! Poetry? Prose? Art?
Why is it called Black Magma? Why not Obsidian?
I wanna be on your maiden voyage...don't tell Lyn Lifshin about it yet, let me have a go first please wheeeee!!!!!

Really, you do know you are crazy for doing this, you will love and hate it, and I am sure it will be awesome!

I've been mulling over this for the last few months but I've decided to just go ahead and do it.

I'm launching the first edition of Black Magma in September and welcome unsolicited (non erotic, please) poetry submissions.

Guidelines:

I am looking for well crafted, imaginative poems. I am not very keen on ryhme , so please bear this in mind.

Translations are also very welcome

Please send between 3-5 poems (either in the body of the e-mail or as separate Ms Word attachments)

I would prefer unpublished poems but previously published poems are acceptable providing that a sufficient period of time has passed since publication.

Enclose a brief bio (written in the third person) as well.

If you have any queries, please PM or e-mail me

Yours,

Christian Ward

The address is:

[WickedEve]

its over.period.

I've decided to put it on ice.

Am feeling very down right now

What's wrong? Was this going to be an online poetry journal?
If you need help, I'll be happy to do what I can, and I bet some others here would be willing to help you out.

 

[vampiredust]

Black Magma

I've decided to refocus Black Magma, basing it much more on my original intentions. Please note that the closing date for submissions still currently stands at July 31st.

The Association for Research on Mothering

Association for Research on Mothering: Call for Poems



Deadline: September 1, 2006

The Association for Research on Mothering (ARM) is seeking submissions for an
anthology of poetry on motherhood to be published in 2007.

White Ink is a rare and unique anthology of poems on the theme of mothers.
Beginning with a comprehensive critical introduction by editor and poet Rishma
Dunlop, this book will explore the changing role of the mother in contemporary
society by bringing together diverse poetic voices - female, male, Canadian
and international. White Ink will select some of its poems from ARM Journal, the
journal of the Association for Research on Mothering (ARM). However, White
Ink will also include poems about motherhood that have not appeared in ARM
Journal.

The title, White Ink, is borrowed from Hélène Cixous' metaphor for mother's
milk, a metaphor that grounds women's writing in the female body. Tentative
section headings include: When Water Breaks: The Birth of the Mother; Apron
Strings: Motherhood as Institution; Cutting the Cord: Mothers in Violent Times;
Rocking the Cradle: Redefining Motherhood; Positively Glowing: The Beauty of the
Mother.

Established and emerging writers-female, male, Canadian and
international-should submit 3-6 poems along with a 50-word bio and contact info (including an
E-mail address where you can be reached) to:

Association for Research on Mothering (ARM)
726 Atkinson, York University
4700 Keele Street
Toronto, ON M3J 1P3

I know a few of you have tattoos...

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: Chick Ink

articlemid=1470#1470Articles

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: CHICK INK
Every Tattoo Has a Story
Edited by Karen Hudson, The About.com Guide to Tattoos and Body Piercings
We are seeking original, true, personal stories by women on the experience of
being a woman with a tattoo--the ups, the downs, and everything in between.
Being a tattooed woman can be thrilling and liberating, it can also be
challenging. We are interested in stories that might reveal an insight, offer
advice--in short, writing that informs, intrigues, and inspires. Humor is welcome.
About CHICK INK:
Biker chick! Circus freak! White trash!Â* These were the labels that used to
be assigned to women with tattoos, but no longer.Â* Today women obtain more than
half of all tattoos, a number that has quadrupled since the 1970s and more
and more women are getting inked every day. From businesswomen to new moms to
mid-lifers, nowadays you never know who is inked beneath their clothes.
From the divorcee looking for a new start to the 20-something looking to
express herself, from the mastectomy patient looking for art to cover scars to a
woman looking to memorialize a special moment in her life, women get tattoos
for many reasons.
And each one of those tattoos has a story.
Chick Ink tells the real stories of those women and their body art, those who
get tattoos and those who give tattoos.Â* Why did they decide to get a tattoo,
what was the tattoo experience like, and how has having that tattoo changed
their perceptions of their own body and how others perceive them?
Chick Ink will also include stories from female tattoo artists. Stories about
why they went into the tattoo industry, people they have tattooed, and the
stereotypes and barriers they have had to face in this male-dominated
profession.
Chick Ink gives voice to the thousands of women who got tattooed despite the
stereotypes society may place upon them. It showcases the unique personal
experience that getting a tattoo can be and also the bond it creates between inked
women.Â* These candid and funny tales reveal the daring and yet deeply
meaningful motivations behind tattoos and how that inked art changes the bearer both
internally and externally.

SAMPLE TOPICS:
Reactions from othersâ??either positive or negativeâ??on your tattoos.
Issues specific to being a tattooed woman: overcoming others' expectations,
stereotypes, etc.
Dealing with resistance from family, friends, coworkers, children,
significant others.
The particular joys and freedoms that come with a tattoo.
An incident that motivated you to get a tattoo.
Lessons learned: Would you get tattooed all over again?Â* Why or why not?
Tattoo misadventures.

EDITOR: Karen Hudson is the about.com guide to tattooing and body piercing.Â*
Her site is the 9th most accessed site on About.com. Karen has served a
yearlong tattoo apprenticeship at a tattoo studio in Dallas, Texas.Â* Her personal
links within the tattoo community continue to keep her updated in body art.
Foreword by: Deana Lippens
Deana is a well-know tattoo artist with over 25 years of tattoo experience.
Deana owns and operates Deanaâ??s Skin art Studio in Florida and is also the
founder and producer of â??Marked for Lifeâ?? the International Female Tattoo Artist
Convention that just celebrated its 11th year.
PUBLISHER: Adams Media, an F + W Publications Company

FORMAT: Essays must be typed, double-spaced, and paginated. Please include

Stories must be TRUE, we do not publish fiction or poetry.

SANITY IS A ONE-TRICK PONY

We're looking for anything at all that touches on sanity, or its lack.
Slightly cracked, not all oars in the water, right on up to "full
goose bozo", to quote an old Robin Williams stand-up routine. Like,

What a cool idea

Poems-For-All

ABOUT THE SERIES

They're scattered around town — on buses, trains, cabs, in restrooms, bars, left along with the tip; stuffed into a stranger's back pocket. Whatever. Wherever. Small poems in small booklets half the size of a business card. A project of the 24th street irregular press, which cranks them out to be taken by the handful and scattered like seeds by those who want to see poetry grow in a barren cultural landscape.

If you would like to receive a few poems, we're happy to send them to you. The poems are free. Please send a small envelope — business sized is fine — with no more than $1 worth of postage. I can send you a bunch of poems for that buck. PFA is a small operation, so please be patient. At this time we cannot send complete sets.

24th street irregular press
Attn: Richard Hansen
1008 24th Street
Sacramento, CA 95816
poems@sacfreepress.com


SUBMIT A POEM
We would be honored to receive your poetry submissions for possible publication in the series. Poems can be on any subject, in any style or from any "school" of poetry, but they must fit into the miniature format of the series. Previously published poems are welcome. Poets submitting original work accepted for publication will receive at least 25 copies of any booklet containing their work. Please use the submission form provided here, or send by regular mail to 24th street irregular press.
