SUMMARY:N - Canadian Literature: A Quarterly of Criticism and Review.  Call for Papers on “Feminist Critique Here and Now”
DESCRIPTION:What is the continued role of feminist theory and feminist analysis in literary studies today in these lands claimed by Canada?  How and why is feminist analysis still relevant to our work? We seek contributions for a special issue of Canadian Literature on feminist critique and/in Canada today. \nWe invite contributors to respond to one or more of the following questions: \n\nWhat dialogues are taking place among feminists of different generations? What intergenerational dialogues need to take place? What can we learn from previous generations of feminists? Conversely\, what can we learn from younger generations?\nHow might it be useful to think about your work in relation to feminism\, even if you have not previously identified your work through feminist concerns? What kinds of trouble and/or alliances might be made by pairing your work with feminism?\nWhat forms of cultural production and activism are occurring at the nexus of trans and/or 2S/queer and feminist studies? What kinds of relations exist? What can trans and/or 2S/queer theory and feminist theory learn from each other?\nHow is feminism imagining ways out of racialized and gendered violence or articulating forms of resilience and resistance? What does anti-racist feminism look like in twenty-first-century Canada?\nHow do we envision decolonial feminisms? What are the implications of applying a feminist analysis to questions of Indigenous sovereignty? How do Indigenous knowledge systems and community wisdoms step into relation with feminisms? How might feminisms and Indigenous sex and gender systems co-conspire?\nWhat are the gendered effects of pandemics (COVID-19 or otherwise)\, specifically with regard to affective labour and care work? How do economics\, class\, labour\, and dis/ability inflect this question?\nHow have neoliberal discourses co-opted and adopted feminism? How has feminism resisted\, or capitulated\, to neoliberalism?\nHow does feminism manifest in\, through\, with\, and beyond the body?\nHow does feminism help us to understand ecological relations\, kinships\, and/or trans-species solidarities?\nHow are experimental forms or particular generic concerns shaped/catalyzed/exploded in relation to feminism?\nWhat is the relationship between feminist activism and cultural production?How does literary work bring us to think through\, about\, or with these clustered concerns? How have writers and other cultural workers responded to these questions in their literary and artistic practice? We encourage contributions from emerging\, diversely positioned\, and established scholars. We welcome standard academic essays as well as submissions that take on unconventional or creative forms.\nAll submissions to Canadian Literature must be original\, unpublished work. Essays should follow current MLA bibliographic format (MLA Handbook\, 9th ed.). Word length for articles is 6\,500-8\,000 words\, which includes endnotes and works cited.

SUMMARY:P - CBC Poetry Prize
DESCRIPTION:Poetry   (up to 600 words; in verse or prose)* \nCompetition opens: April 1\, 2022 \nDeadline: May 31\, 2022 \n*(Word count includes all words contained in the work including but not limited to titles\, footnotes\, introductions\, etc. Submissions over the specified word count will be disqualified.) \nOur word limits are strict in each category. To calculate word counts\, we put your entire submission (including the title) into Microsoft Word and use Word’s word counter. Since Word only relies on spaces to delimit words\, any term containing a hyphen (“twenty-five”) or an apostrophe (“can’t”\, “don’t”) counts as a single word. Word also counts every article (“the”\, “a”\, etc.) as a separate word. Microsoft Word also automatically counts groups of characters (e.g. “xxx”) as well as symbols (e.g. “***” or “~~~”) as a word. \nParticipants may submit as many texts as they wish in one or all categories. A writer can win only one prize per category. Each text may be submitted to only one category. \nFor each manuscript entered\, participants must complete a separate official entry form and pay the entry fee. \nParticipants must verify the exact deadlines on the cbcbooks.ca website. Please note that CBC/Radio-Canada is permitted to modify these deadlines at any time. \nOnline submission: all works must be submitted and payments must be made on or before 11:59 PM (ET) on the day of the deadline. \nWinners will be announced approximately six months after the deadline for each competition. \nHOW TO SUBMIT\nAll submissions must: \n\nBe submitted online by creating an account through Submittable. Submittable is an external site designated by CBC/Radio-Canada to manage the submissions to the competition. They adhere to CBC’s privacy policy.\nBe accompanied by the official entry form and the parental permission (electronic or print version) if applicable\nBe submitted anonymously: the name of the entrant must not appear anywhere on the text to ensure the objectivity of the jury\nBe submitted in Word or Wordpad (.doc\, .rtf or .docx) format\, in letter format (8½” by 11”)\nBe double spaced\, except for poetry texts\nBe in a legible font and font size\nBe submitted to the correct category during the entry period for that category\n\nIf you are unable to submit your content online\, please contact the CBC Literary Prizes team to obtain an alternate form of entry. \nRestrictions: \n\nAll submissions are final: no changes or substitutions are allowed\nNo handwritten manuscripts or fax texts will be accepted\nTexts will not be returned and editorial comments will not be given on the works\n\nFees: \nA fee of $25.00 (taxes included) for administration purposes is required for each entry. The competition is 100% not-for-profit\, with all fees going towards covering administrative costs\, which include payment of readers and jurors of the competition. Participants are not eligible until payment of the registration fee has been received and cashed. The entry fee will not be refunded if your submission is ineligible. All submissions are final: entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. \nJUDGING\nWorks are judged anonymously on the basis of the participant’s use of language\, originality of subject and writing style. \nOnly the work submitted will be considered by the judges\, other documents\, images\, diagrams etc. are not eligible for consideration by the judges. \nSubmissions are processed by a two-tiered system in both languages (English\, French) by readers and jurors. \nThe initial texts are screened by readers chosen for each category from a group of qualified editors and writers across the country. Each text is read by two readers. \nThe English readers come up with a preliminary list of approximately 100 texts that are then forwarded to a second group of readers who will decide upon the approximately 30 entries that comprise the longlist and be forwarded to the jury. \nThe French readers come up with a longlist of approximately 20 texts that are forwarded to the jury. \nThe English and French juries will read all stories on the longlist and decide on a shortlist of five in each language\, which will include a first-place winner and four runners-up. The members of the jury (three per category) are composed of eminent writers and editors from the Canadian literary community. \nEvery effort is made to achieve a balance of gender and diversity in the readers and judges and to reflect regional differences and trends. The readers and jurors change every year and are based in different areas of the country. \nJurors and readers in each category will be chosen by CBC/Radio-Canada\, the Canada Council for the Arts and the Banff Centre. \nAll decisions by the readers and the jury are final (subject to meeting any conditions and eligibility criteria as determined by CBC). Readers’ names are confidential until the end of the competition to ensure the judging process remains blind. \nPRIZES\nCanada Council for the Arts will offer five cash prizes in each category and in each language: \n\nGrand Prize: $6\,000\nFour finalists will receive $1\,000 each\n\nMoreover\, the Grand Prize winner will receive a two-week residency at The Banff Centre approximately valued at $2\,500 which will include: \n\naccommodation and meals at The Banff Centre for two weeks;\n24-hour access to a studio; and\nopportunities to access Banff Centre events and performances for free.\n\nWinners must use their prize within two years of the prize award\, at a time mutually agreeable to the Banff Centre and the prize winner.

SUMMARY:PFN - Eternal Haunted Summer Seeks Submissions on: "Other-Than-Human Realms"
DESCRIPTION:Other-Than-Human Realms.  In many cosmologies\, Earth is the middle realm\, the land of mortals. Other realms — above\, below\, sideways and sidewise — are home to other-than-human peoples. Some of these lands are forbidden to mortals\, while some we can visit only in dreams or trance. But wherever and whatever they are\, they are not our home; they belong to Others. Send us poems about Olympus and Hyperborea\, Annwn and Alfheim. Send us short stories about the court of a Fae Queen\, the garden of a peri\, Hy-Brasil and Feather Mountain. Send us essays about the Garden of the Hesperides\, the Land of Manu\, and fiery Muspelheim. [Please note that we are not interested in fictional lands such as Narnia\, Wonderland\, or Oz.] b \nWhat are the Submission Guidelines? We’re looking for hymns to Odin and Inanna and Sekhmet. Prayers to Hermes and Brigid and Asherah. Short stories featuring (or otherwise referencing) Lugh and Yinepu and Hekate. Every poetic form\, from sonnet to rhyming couplet to free form\, is acceptable. There is no set length. Any genre of short story is welcome\, from mystery to fantasy to true lifeish to reimaginings of classic myths\, provided the Deities and heroes are treated respectfully (no bashing someone else’s Gods\, please!). There is no length limit\, but if you are planning to write a novella\, please discuss that with the editors of EHS in advance; any story over 5000 words will likely be serialized across two or more issues. \nPoems or stories that feature Deities from pantheons generally considered to be outside the Pagan umbrella\, but which are still from polytheistic traditions — such as a poem to the Hawaiian Pele or a short story focusing on the Shinto Amaterasu-omikami — are absolutely welcome. The wider the diversity of traditions represented\, the happier the editors are. \nWe are also interested in essays which address the nature of the Deities\, the mythologies of the various pantheons\, folklore\, ritual\, et cetera and et cetera. So\, for example\, we would be keen to read your essay on Hermanubis and how He relates to Hermes and Anubis. Or\, your essay examining primary sources for The Cailleach. Or\, a discussion of the evolution of Veles from (benevolent) God of the Underworld to (Christian) demon and how Polish and Slavic Pagans are resurrecting His worship. \nWhat we do not want: anything about Atlantis\, Mu\, UFOs\, aliens\, or subterranean civilizations. No gore or excessive violence. Sexual content will be judged on a submission by submission basis.

SUMMARY:P - Cæsura Seeks Poetry with the Theme: Reset
DESCRIPTION:Cæsura 2022: Reset \nThe Call: Blinded by fractured light through the broken view of a kaleidoscope that has twisted our senses into a cloud of fever dreams; we reach\, strive for a pattern of hope\, a tessellation that integrates all our broken parts into a creation of beauty. Together we replant the seeds. We reset our gaze on the intricate and fertile patterns of empathy and love. \nThe editors will judge from blind lists to create the two unique versions of Cæsura Reset\, the print version and the online version. \nNEW and UNPUBLISHED poets\, every year we recruit\, appreciate\, and publish your work. Please add the comment “Not yet published” to your cover page. \nEveryone may submit up to 3 literary works \nWe reserve first-print publication rights and the right to post work for publication on our website. Previously published work\, in print or online\, will not be considered. \nWe are partial to poems of 32 lines or fewer\, but make exceptions for longer poems that are too good to pass up. \nWe prefer prose of 320 words\, but will consider anything less than 1000. \nLonger works of any style or format will be considered for the print edition but are more likely to appear online.

SUMMARY:N - Seeking Submissions on: "Cars Against Humanity"
DESCRIPTION:Accepting Submissions\n\n\nWe want the essays in this volume to help readers understand the deadly automotive ecologies that have emerged around the world over the past century.  Because we expect this anthology to provoke as wide as possible a discussion about whether the sacrifices we’ve made for cars are worth it\, we especially welcome: \n\nsubmissions that address the peculiarities of a local transit culture\nsubmissions by people who don’t think of themselves as writers or scholars\nsubmissions from authors outside the global North\n\nAlthough essays may contain a personal element\, contributions should focus on description and exploration of the anti-life ecology created by cars. \nWe’re not looking for: essays on carbon emissions and global warming (this volume will focus on local ecologies)\, personal stories about driver-caused death and injury (unless such stories are situated as part of a broader ecological analysis)\, essays written by cars pretending to be people. \n\n\nTopics might include: \n\nroadkill disposal work\nbody-car encounters\nhow cars change laws\nhighway geographies and urban segregation\ncars and masculinities\nthe impact of cars and roads on multi-species worlds\nautomobile soundscapes vs. avian soundscapes\nasphalt economies\nanimal/human mobilities and disabilities vs. automobilities\nthe ineffable romance of being stuck in traffic\ncars as housing\nanimals living in or destroying cars\n\n…and many others we haven’t thought of. \n\n\nWord count:\n500-4500 words per piece.

SUMMARY:PN - Kosmos Journal Quarterly Seeks Submissions: "Blessed Community | The Families We Make"
DESCRIPTION:  \nCircle of Friends\, Nancy Earle\nDuring the pandemic\, many found comfort in forming pods\, (small groups of loved ones and friends)\, and in joining online groups and sharing circles that supported co-learning\, activism\, spiritual connection\, or simply provided moral support. Such connections can bind us more strongly than our blood-family relationships. \nIntentional communities are not new. They include ecovillages\, housing cooperatives and spiritual communities such as monasteries. Yet\, these are also evolving to serve the needs of new generations. Transition Towns\, residential land trusts and farming cooperatives have strengthened local economies and cultures of sharing. \nSuch groups\, large and small\, often have a set of values members hold in common\, like confidentiality\, mentorship\, and recognition of historic trauma. Circles may use story\, art and music help members heal and  provide a deep sense of belonging. We are reinventing community from the ground up! \nWhat are the intentional groups\, circles and heart-families you have created or joined? How would you describe the values or guiding principles of the group? In what ways have your groups transformed you? What does the term ‘blessed community’ mean to you? How has ‘coming to circle’ awakened something deep within you or enabled you to serve your community in a new way? \nThese are some of the questions we seek to explore in the Summer edition of Kosmos Quarterly. We welcome your essays up to 1200 words\, poems\, art and other works. Please review our submission guidelines carefully.

SUMMARY:PFN - Minerva Rising Seeks Submissions: Then\, Now\, and Future
DESCRIPTION:Minerva Rising\, an independent literary press that celebrates the creativity and wisdom in every woman\, will be accepting submissions for its special 10th anniversary anthology. \nThen\, Now\, and Future –– the editorial team is looking to publish both previous and new contributors’ poetry\, fiction\, and creative nonfiction work to help celebrate the themes of growth\, change\, and reflection. As writers\, we constantly catalog and memorialize ourselves and experiences into succinct pieces that act\, at times\, as time capsules. Our writing often begs us to consider who we were a year ago\, five years ago\, ten years ago. As artists\, our writing captures and reflects the changes enacted in our personal lives. There is power in both the act of writing but also in the sharing. Inviting readers to explore our work showcases vulnerability\, strength\, and connection. Often\, we learn who we were or who we can become from rereading previous work. There’s a prompting of reflection that pushes us to ask what’s next? We’re often taught not to look back\, to live in the present\, to not focus on the future\, but what if that curiosity propelled reflection and introspection? What if\, instead of labeling writing as old and new\, we celebrated it like we celebrate our lives with loved ones? What if we collected ourselves\, and the work of others\, into a collection that spoke of hope? \nThe reading period for Then\, Now\, and Future will be open until June 5\, 2020. We look forward to reading your work.

SUMMARY:PFN - Kaleidoscoped Magazine.  Theme "Ghosts & Gossip"
DESCRIPTION:While often perceived as unnecessary\, unkind\, and belittling\, gossip can serve as a bonding agent between others\, a comradery. Gossip is not idle talk but dendrites branching and connecting as substitute for touch during years of isolation. Commiseration alchemized to solace. Gossip is community. To gossip can provide a healing\, one of levity and mirth or of health and intimacy. But gossip is a balm\, not a remedy. Loneliness\, mourning\, and rage haunt in the background of the chatter. Like spectral beings\, they re-emerge when we least expect them to. Loved ones pass. Crisis arises. Memories twist and pull in ways we don’t understand. These ghosts decide to stay whether we like it or not.\n​\nGhosts and gossip weave together. Gossip starts as euphoric and sweet entry points for confessions massacring our insides out. Ghosts shake our shoulders for attention. Feed them sacrifices. Gossip gives rise to rumor\, becoming a ghost itself. \nAnd so we declare ghosts as genre\, gossip as genre. Tell us about your hauntings\, your voicemails and saved memos\, your ephemera\, your fortune cookies and your tarot cards. Gives us your secrets and your safe zones. We are particularly interested in experimental and hybrid works across all mediums: send the almost\, the unexplainable\, the confessions\, the collaged. Send us your poems\, your verse\, your translations\, your drawn\, your ballads\, your photographs\, your tea\, and your double scoops with no napkins.

SUMMARY:PN - Rituals Anthology Seeks Submission on the Theme of Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Rituals are a core part of the human experience. Whether sacred or secular\, they provide a point of connection to the world beyond us\, and even to our deeper selves. When we take a step back and examine our lives\, we find that our existence is weaved together by rituals— whether they involve our morning habit of grinding coffee beans as we prepare breakfast\, or something large-scale such as a cultural or religious holiday. Whatever their purpose\, rituals ground us in a society that’s in constant flux. In this anthology\, writers can explore the underlying significance\, emotional aspects\, and nuances of a particular ritual. \nAnthology edited by Brina Patel \nAll writers are paid in royalties and receive an advance of $15 Canadian prior to publication. Royalties are shared equally among all contributors and are not based on page or word count.  Full payment details provided in a publication contract. If you would like more details on payment before submitting\, please contact Angela at angela [at] bellpressbooks.com. \nThere are no word count guidelines\, but keep in mind that pages are limited and longer pieces may be less likely to have a place because of this. \nOne submission per writer\, though you may submit up to 3 poems if sending poetry (multiple submissions\, even if of a different style\, will be ignored). Previously unpublished work only (no reprints). \nWe strongly encourage submissions from BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ writers. International submissions welcome.
