CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS (POETRY)

What: Motherhood Anthology (Poetry/Photography)


Photographer Elisha Rain & poet/writer Kelli Russell Agodon are joining together to create an anthology that speaks to being a mother in this current world. We are looking for poems exploring all areas of pregnancy, birth, and any aspects of being a mother. We are very open to all motherhood content and themes, but want poems that are powerful, truthful, thought-provoking, and/or thoughtful.

Send no more than 4 poems cut & pasted into the text of the email to:
motherhoodanthology (at) excite.com -- replace (at) with @

Or you may mail your poems with an SASE to: Motherhood Anthology, PO Box 1524, Kingston, WA 98346

Please include bio, contact information, and a brief paragraph about your experience or thoughts on motherhood, your relationship to motherhood and how it’s changed you (maybe you have chosen not to be a mother), how you balance your life as a poet and a mother, or some insight you’ve learned as a mother.

Previously published poems are welcome as long as you hold the rights to the poems.

We are currently querying publishers, so we are unsure what compensation will be, however our goal is monetary payment as well as a copy of the anthology.

For more information about the editors of this anthology, please feel free to visit their websites:
