Tupelo Press Anthology of Indigenous Writing
INFO: The editors at Tupelo Press are excited to begin reviewing submissions for an anthology of contemporary Indigenous poetry. This book will feature a selection of poems from each contributor, alongside an original essay on craft or aesthetics, as well as a chosen influential text with which the poet’s work enters into dialogue. The influential text is an occasion for each poet to articulate their own literary genealogy and acknowledge the history of Indigenous writing. The result will be a transcendent, wholly new offering of inter-generational writing by Indigenous poets.
To submit, please send the following items via our online submission manager:
- A selection of 5-7 published or unpublished poems. Multiple submissions are welcome.
After an initial review, they will ask for these items at a later date:
- The influential/influencing poem.
- An essay in which you discuss the relationship between the influential poem and your own work. Please note that their definition of craft essay is expansive. The essay can be brief or more developed, as they are not requiring a specific length. The style of this prose piece can be as traditional or untraditional as you wish.
DEADLINE: December 1, 2017
