Enclosed below is a call for submissions for an interesting anthology that a friend of mine is putting together.  I'd like to ask y'all to do your best to spread the word among your fellow poets verbally or through a mention in your respective publications, meetings, or websites.  I'd much appreciate your help in assuring the success of this venture.

 

Warm regards,

Has your mother died? An anthology about remembering our mothers after they have died seeks emotionally honest and compelling submissions that will resonate with the reader. Desired poems will cover the initial raw grief through time to poems that are more uplifting. The intent is not to dwell on death itself but rather to place it in loving perspective. From sad to angry, from tender to humorous, all will be considered. Content will deal with your mother's life and/or your relationship with her. Through the writers' varied experiences, readers will recognize themselves and be encouraged in knowing they are not alone. Prose poems and poetry max 100 lines. Short prose max 750 words. If previously published, please include reprint permission and literary credit. Send up to 5 submissions and brief bio. Payment: 1 free copy if accepted. Submit by Dec 1, 2009  in a 12-point, double spaced Word doc. to motherlosspoetry@gmail.com or mail to Mother Loss/Details, 8663 River Crossing Blvd., Indianapolis, IN 46240.
