Because gender inequity still occurs in publishing\, it is part of our explicit feminist mission to support and promote women’s voices in print.\nPerugia Press seeks to highlight marginalized and underrepresented voices in our publications\, and to that end we encourage submissions written by poets of all abilities\, ages\, and sexual orientations\, and from across all cultural\, socio-economic\, ethnic\, racial\, and religious backgrounds.\nPoets must have no more than one previously published full-length book. You are still eligible if you have published a poetry chapbook/s or books in other genres. You are still eligible if you have published more than one full-length poetry collection in a language other than English.\nPerugia Press welcomes diversity of expression in content\, form\, and language. We are open to considering hybrid manuscripts\, including those incorporating visuals or created in collaboration.\nIndividual poems may have been published previously in magazines\, journals\, anthologies\, and chapbooks\, but the collection as a whole must be unpublished.\nTranslations of the work of others and previously self-published books are not eligible.\nSubmissions from poets living outside the U.S. are not eligible\, though international submissions from poets based in the U.S. but away during our contest period are fine. As a small press\, we are not able to support the promotion of our books on a global scale.\nPoets may not be a close friend or colleague of the editor/director as she facilitates the contest and takes part in the final decision about the winning manuscript.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubmit a manuscript of 45 to 85 pages. There is no entry fee for BIWOC poets. Visit the website for complete guidelines.

SUMMARY:P - Plum Tree Tavern Seeks Submissions on the Theme: "Autumn Moon"
DESCRIPTION:SPECIAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS\nAUTUMN MOON\nPlum Tree Tavern invites the submission of works for a special Autumn Moon edition. Haiku or other short work not to exceed five lines are preferred; longer works may be submitted and will be considered. \nRegardless of length\, each submission must expressly contain the words “autumn moon” or a similar reference to the moon within the season\, such as “October moon” or “first frost moon.” Traditional kigo may also be used (scarecrow\, crickets\, or harvest as examples). \n\nPoems should be submitted within the body of an email addressed to plumtreetavern (at) gmail (dot) com.\nUp to three poems may be submitted. Please place Autumn Moon in the subject line of any submission. \nAt the editor’s discretion\, submissions may be selected for publication in regular editions of Plum Tree tavern. \n\nPlum Tree Tavern invites original and previously unpublished poetry of green witness and red protest. \nClimate change and social and economic repression are inextricably linked. The crowd denying or preventing effective responses to global warming is the same crowd repressing equality within society. \nFor the green witness and ecopoetic half of the equation\, Plum Tree seeks work focusing on specific images of physical nature. Work that focuses on the image in nature as it exists is greatly preferred over the writer’s judgments of the image. \nThe term “red protest” is deliberately used here to call for poetical works of leftist resistance. The tavern is not looking for wishy washy give peace a chance plea bargains but for work with a sharper edge. But manifesto\, diatribe and polemic without poetical structure or elements isn’t the ticket either. \n\nWorks of up to 40 lines sounds about right. Longer work will be considered. One submission of up to three poems per month sounds about right\, too. Speaking of the calendar\, please submit seasonal work: in season.
