New Publication - Kleft Jaw - Call For Submissions

www.kleftjaw.weebly.com

Much like the Greek Klefts exploited by the ancient Ottoman Empire, we at Kleft Jaw seek to transcend the current reality of modern poetry/prose. We simply cannot believe, will not believe, will not lie & say there are limitations to the human consciousness. There is a magna-force of possibility, teeming inside all of us, and that's why we exist; to invoke the transcendental realist spirit in contemporary writing and that's why we're here; to establish a new aesthetic, to make words dangerous again.

The Klefts spent their days fighting and robbing the wealthy Turks. Their nights were spent leaping around the fire, reciting poetry in celebration of the freedom they found in their hills away from the empire.

Like the Klefts, we plan to fight for and celebrate our freedom. Send us your battle cries, your barbaric yawps, your rebel songs, and your love songs.

We are a newly formed online venture with 2 scheduled print anthologies coming out in the year 2013.

Send your PROSE and POETRY to kleftjaw@gmail.com.

PROSE should not exceed 1,500 words

Please submit no more than 3 POEMS at a time (not too much rhyming please)

No simultaneous submissions.

We only want to see unpublished work.

We will respond to submissions within 3-5 weeks. If you have not heard from us by then, our heads are missing, and it's up to you to seek vengeance and justice on our behalf.

Bleed with the songs of your ancestors. Burn like funeral pyres! LIVE FREE WRITE FOREVER!

dispatch litareview special occupy movement issue

Dear friends,

The spectre of the Occupy Wall Street movement and its otherworldly implications certainly warrant a special issue of dispatch litareview (issn 1948-1217 - litareview.com), that much goes without saying. Given our historical grounding as a forum for radical literature, it'd be irresponsible of us to forgo this movement as cause for a special edition.

We feel that this issue must be printed and disseminated on the streets as well as by the usual means (free download). We've got the people nationwide to make this happen. We're only short a bit of spare change, and so we've done one of those kickstarter things to see what can come of it. If we get anywhere near the goal, surely we'll find another means to cover the gap ("...we robbed banks to fund papers of transgressive poetry..."). Please go to http://kck.st/sgY2NS and please tell everyone you know who might possibly be interested. We're only trying to raise $350 (consider it pre-ordering, as all donors receive a copy), so we're confident to reach our goal in short order.

We're also soliciting first-hand dispatches from the occupations nationwide. We've got guaranteed reportage from Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Boston, DC, and Chicago, but of course we'd like more perspectives from each as well as work from other North American occupations.

I am personally pleased to see the spirit of Paris 1968 so alive and well. With any luck, we'll get a variety of voices and riff the occupation movement from all sides. A plaque on the hall of culture commemorating a distinctly anarchist phenomenon.

Submissions of first-hand accounts, photography, and artwork from the occupations can be sent by the means established at http://litareview.com/submissions.html or by sending them directly to dispatch@litareview.com. Materials may also be sent by post to dispatch litareview / c/o Paul Madore / 1929 W. North Ave Apt. 3 / West Baltimore, MD 21217.

In resistance,

Primal Urge Magazine Call for Submissions

THE DEAL - Primal Urge Magazine call for poetry submissions: Here’s the deal, the publisher gives six to eight pages for poems. We run two featured poets on two to three pages each. Whatever pages are left over we run in “One Offs” – one or two poems each from several poets. The rules: Don’t send any spiritual stuff. If you talk to God you don’t need to talk to us. Don’t send epic poems. Shorter is better. Alice’s Restaurant has already topped the charts once. That’s enough. The best thing to do is look at an old issue of the Urge: http://www.primal-urge-magazine.com/. We lean toward “Meat,” “Street,” “After Hours” and the occasional political poem. Don’t tell us about dead-burnt-bodies or regurgitate the daily news. We want your secrets – surprise us. Bring something fresh to the page. We want to smell the perfume, taste the lipstick and know why hearts beat – and sometimes bleed. Okay, send three to five poems to our poetry editor, Bill Gainer at: wsgainer@comcast.net. Put “Primal Urge Submissions” in the subject line. If you don’t hear from us before the next issue, there’s a good chance you won't.
