Call for Work: ON: Contemporary Practice 2

 
The first issue of ON, a journal devoted to contemporary poetics, featured
over twenty essays (and a few epistolary collaborations) focused on poets
such as Taylor Brady, kari edwards, Brenda Iijima, CJ Martin, Emily
McVarish, Yedda Morrison, Hoa Nguyen, Sawako Nakayasu, Julie Patton, Dana
Ward, and Alli Warren. Our goal is to offer a survey of the field Oas it
stands,¹ written by and for those Owe¹ are reading and discussing, with the
intention of bringing reflection to a discourse during a prodigious cultural
moment. We hope you¹ll contribute to the second issue by engaging with the
practice, poetry and poetics of one of your closest contemporaries.
 
Guidelines:
 
1.    ON encourages contributors to investigate a ³practice,² rather than a
solitary poem, chapbook, performance, review, art object, etc.
2.    The subject should roughly be of your generation ­ generation defined
as you see fit.
3.    There are no strict limits on page count ­ essays in ON 1 ranged from
1 to 18 pages.
4.    Please feel free to share this solicitation with writers from your
community and colleagues who may have escaped our attention.
5.    Submissions should be single-spaced set in 10 pt. Palatino. For
additional formatting requirements, please refer to the most recent Chicago
Manual of Style. Please send either a hardcopy or PDF along with your word
document.
6.    We suggest that you check out the first issue if you haven¹t done so
already. Copies are available from Small Press Distribution.
7.    Please also include a 35-word bio.
 
Deadline for submissions is May 1, 2009. ON will be available in print and
digital online formats. Please direct all submissions and questions to any
of the addresses below, and thank you in advance for being ON.
 
Cordially,

hi Craig Hill, just wondering if you cld tweak the contacts at ON just a bit. so they read "dot" instead of ".". I fear my Yahoo account is getting spammed since sending out the ON 2 call--our own fault admittedly. thanks for getting the word out abt ON! best, Thom (Donovan)
