P – Green Ink Poetry’s Deep Earth Collection 2: “Furrows”

Creative Details

We are looking for beautiful works exploring Furrows; fields and farming, working with (or against) the natural environment, traditional childhoods, countryside life and imagery around earth and growth are all interpretations of this theme we’d particularly like to see, and we will be selecting work for inclusion based on how well it relates to these themes. Work centred around other lifecycles, or features such as “furrowed brows” that use the imagery of a furrow outside of farming will also be considered, although we would prefer if these works contained some link to the natural world.

Submission Details

• Poems no longer than an A4 page – we prefer shorter work generally, but no longer than an A4 page is our only length limit.

• Include a short bio in your submission, including any personal social media handles or other links you would like to have listed

• No more than 3 poems per submission

• Submissions formatted as a word document or PDF attached to an email, or in the body of the email itself.

• Work of an overtly sexual nature, or that promotes any form of hatred, racism, or overt political stances will not be considered.

• Submit your work by emailing us at editors@greeninkpoetry.co.uk – Please ensure that the email subject line includes “Furrows Submission”.

Other Information

There is a limit of 30 contributor spaces in the collection, however we will be offering discounted copies to contributors. Depending on the success of our first print collection of the year, we will also aim to offer a free copy to any contributors based in the UK.

We will be publishing your submissions online, and in print, so please do not submit your work unless you are happy for us to use these mediums. This will require non-exclusive, limited rights to publish your work and hold archival copies – all other rights remain with you, and you will be fully credited.

We will do our best to preserve any formatting you include in your submission in the print edition, but there may be minor changes due to differences in format between your submission and our working document for the printers – we will take all possible steps to ensure your desired format is preserved.

If you need modifications to be made to the digital edition once it is published, or need the version to be taken down, please let us know as soon as you are able via email.

If you have any questions about our submission requirements, or any other part of Green Ink Poetry and our digital or print collections, please don’t hesitate to let us know.
