Dear Friends and Poets,
Many of you may know me as a
poet, others as an editor (also as poetry editor of Erosha, an online
journal of erotic muse and artwork:
www.erosha.net).
I would now like to take some of the finest poetry Erosha has to
offer, and bring to readers a print anthology of sensual poetry. This call
for submissions is also going out to writers who have not been a part of
Erosha in the past, so please feel free to visit our site to read some of
the quality works we have had the pleasure of publishing, and to get a feel for
the kind of poetry we are seeking.
Please send a maximum
of five poems which you would like
us to consider for this anthology to
dmhill@shaw.ca.
Send them either in a Word document attached to an email, or in the email text
itself. Be sure to include your name (and publishing name), email address,
phone number, home address, and a short bio which we can publish along with
any poems we may choose from you. Acceptances and confirmations with release
forms to be signed will follow. The deadline for submissions is Friday March 31st, 2006. This will allow the remaining months
of 2006 for desktop formatting, publishing, and marketing details, with a
hopeful release date for Fall 2006 or Spring 2007. My publishing partner is
Jeremy Heomsen of Satjah Projects. We anticipate this unique collection to be
one of crossing borders and friendships, due to the span of this invitation,
and to the number of talented and established poets we know in both Canada and
the United States, if not other countries as well. Thank you for your interest
in this exciting project.
Sincerely,
Donna Hill
