Call for submissions:

EKPHRASTIC TANKA: An Atlas Poetica Special Feature

Tanka poets are invited to submit to a new Atlas Poetica Special Feature on ekphrastic tanka.

Ekphrasis is a conversation between two pieces of art. The writer interprets a work of visual art and creates a narrative in tanka form that represents his or her reaction to that painting, photograph, sculpture or other artistic creation.

 

The due date for submissions will be 1st September, 2012.

Comprised of 3 – 5 tanka per poet, contributions should be emailed to editor Patricia Prime at ppr...@ihug.co.nz using a title line that begins with “ATPO submission_ekphrastic tanka”. Your name and email address should be included, together with an URL (where possible) where your designated artwork may be viewed by readers.

The poems offered are to be included in the body of the email, without attachments. Poems submitted cannot have been published previously, nor can they be currently under consideration elsewhere.

25 successful contributors will each have a single poem included when Ekphrastic Tanka appears as an Atlas Poetica Special Feature in the fall. Complete ATPO guidelines and previous Special Features may be viewed at Atlas.Poetica.org.
