Blackmail Press Special Issue – Crossed Cultures

Friday, August 17, 2007

Call for poetry submissions

We live in a multicultural world. Every day, we cross the cracks, visible and invisible, that divide up our society, rendering us into groups differentiated by beliefs, by skin colour, by what we eat, by what we believe. Some of us cling precariously to the widening gaps between two or more cultures. We hope that we will find a way to be true to both. We feel fearful and exhilarated at the journey. Some of us feel alienated. Others find a way to reclaim an identity.

This issue of Blackmail Press will be dedicated to poems that explore the experience of crossing between cultures.

All submissions welcome. Submissions from emerging poets are encouraged. International poets are especially welcome. White, yellow, brown, black or some colour in between, tell us your viewpoint or story. Poems should be in English although poems in another language with English translation are acceptable.

Blackmail Press is an international poetry ezine: nzpoetsonline.homestead.com
Submissions close: November 1st
