Publications & Call for Submissions

The Dead Mule School of Southern Literature has published its National Poetry Month issue. South Carolina Poet Laureate, Marjory Wentworth, is but one of seventeen poets featured in this issue.

Oh, and if the child standing beside the mule on the cover looks familiar, that's my dad, Helon Dunlap.


Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Modern English Tanka is open to submissions from 1 March to 30 May, 2009. We solicit individual tanka, tanka sequences and sets, tanka prose, review, articles, announcements, and anything else relating to tanka poetry of place in traditional or innovative forms. We regret that we cannot publish illustrated tanka. A complete set of guidelines is available online at: AtlasPoetica.com. We strongly recommend reading the free sample issue (ATPO 3) located on the website if you are unfamiliar with tanka, poetry of place, or Atlas Poetica.

Atlas Poetica includes sections of topical tanka. For issue four we are seeking topical tanka on the subjects of :

flowers/gardens
winter
employment/labor
family

We accept tanka on all themes and topics at all times; the topical tanka are a special section within the journal.

Cordially,

M. Kei
Editor, Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Modern English Tanka
