Needed: Contemporary Visual Poetry for Poetry

A future issue of Poetry will include a small section on contemporary visual poetry edited by Geof Huth. This section, which will include full-color visual poems, will also be released as a separate offprint.

Anyone interested in participating in this portfolio of contemporary visual poetry should submit one or two previously unpublished visual poems to Geof Huth via email at geofhuth@gmail.com by May 15, 2008. "Unpublished" means that the poems cannot have appeared in print or in a public electronic form, even on a personal blog. The editor will be able to choose only about ten visual poems for this portfolio.

Submissions of visual poems may come from anywhere in the world, with one proviso: the poems must either be in English or use text without representing any written language. Low-resolution images are adequate for submission, but the submitters should be ready to provide high-resolution images for any pieces chosen for publication.

Since this portfolio of visual poems must be constructed from the entirety of submissions received, responses to submissions will not go out until the end of June or sometime in July.

Visual poets whose poems appear in this issue of Poetry will receive copies of that issue as well as payment from the magazine. Send any questions to Geof Huth at geofhuth@gmail.com. -- Geof Huth dbqp 875 Central Parkway Schenectady, NY 12309 USA http://dbqp.blogspot.com
