SUMMARY:N - Call for Submissions: New Literary Anthology on the Fibre Arts
DESCRIPTION:Knitting\, sewing\, embroidery\, crochet\, lacework\, felting\, beading and weaving have long been dismissed as “hobbies” or feminine pursuits. Editors Marita Dachsel and Nancy Lee are looking for essays (approx. 2\,000 to 5\,000 words) that engage fibre arts practice as a lens (positive or negative) through which to examine larger contemporary issues: identity\, technology\, climate change\, personal struggle\, politics\, family\, adventure\, relationship\, art\, science\, or any other complexities of life. These essays will challenge the traditional view of crafting and explore the role\, purpose\, frustration\, joy\, humour and necessity of fibre arts amidst the alienating pressures of modern life. \nWe are particularly interested in lived experiences and perspectives historically underrepresented in the fibre arts space\, work that challenges the dominant culture view and pushes beyond easy nostalgia and sentimentality to examine the unusual and unexpected. We invite essays that are formally inventive\, including graphic forms. \nDeadline for submission is April 15th\, 2022. Please send submissions to: fibreartsanthology@gmail.com. Contributors selected for publication will receive an honorarium as well as two contributor copies. The anthology will be published in fall 2023 by Arsenal Pulp Press.

Experiences must have taken place between January 1\, 2020 and April 30\, 2022. Visitors can submit stories from now until April 30\, 2022 for a chance to win great prizes and have their story featured on Recreation.gov. The 2021 inaugural contest generated nearly 1\,200 entries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGrand Prize Winner\, 2021 Share Your Story Contest\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“When Recreation.gov first launched the ‘Share Your Story’ contest in 2021\, we set out to discover stories from people across the nation who got outside to experience nature in a new way\, and particularly how those experiences helped them find peace\, tranquility\, or adventure during the first year of the pandemic\,” said Rick DeLappe\, Program Manager at Recreation.gov. “We were blown away by the entries\, many of which covered memorable moments with loved ones and a newfound sense of gratitude and appreciation for public lands and waters. We look forward to receiving more stories in 2022 of how the great outdoors has brought people peace\, enjoyment\, and a sense of togetherness\, with nature\, family\, or new friends you meet along the trail.” \n\n\nParticipants can submit stories that fall within up to two of four categories\, including Traditions (Old and New)\, RV/Campervans\, Family Trips\, and Activities and Adventure. \n“As we enter the third year of this global pandemic\, the outdoors continues to provide comfort and solace\,” said Eugenie Bostrom\, Recreate Responsibly Coalition Manager. “Brought together by a love of the places that sustain us\, our outdoor community continues to expand as more see the benefits of nature. The Recreate Responsibly Coalition\, in collaboration with Recreation.gov\, invites you to share your perspective and experiences of responsible and holistic outdoor recreation.” \nAs we reflect on the benefits that nature provides during challenging times\, we can rely on storytelling to keep us connected and to provide comfort. In celebrating stories of outdoor adventures or peace-seeking in nature\, we can see ourselves in each other and in the places that tie us together. The genesis of #RecreateResponsibly is to care for one another and for the places that we play or find solace\, and we can share that through insightful and uplifting recollections of our experiences.” \nParticipants can enter up to two stories during the contest period for a chance to be one of the total 29 winners of various prizes\, including: \n–       Three Grand Prize Winners: The first Grand Prize Winner will receive $1\,500 from an outdoor retailer\, the Second Grand Prize Winner will receive a $1\,000 from an outdoor retailer\, and the third Grand Prize Winner will receive $500 from an outdoor retailer.

Ideal submissions are well-crafted\, fresh and edgy. We are committed to enriching and continuing the tradition of poetry in the present day. We welcome submissions that deepen our understanding of what poetry is and can be. We are open to most styles\, whether experimental or traditional – though issues are usually put together with an underlying theme in mind\, so not all poetry can be accepted\, even if it is genius! \nVallum’s Chapbook Series has published work from Bhanu Kapil\, Sina Queyras\, Nicole Brossard\, George Elliott Clarke\, Erín Moure\, Franz Wright\, Fanny Howe\, John Kinsella\, and many more.

You may unsubscribe at any time. \nCONTEST RULES: \n\nThe entry fee covers one chapbook submission of 12-30 pages. Do not label your chapbook with your name or address; instead include a cover letter with all pertinent information.\nChapbooks may be on any theme or subject\, but must be original and not previously published (individual poems appearing in the manuscript that have been published elsewhere are fine).\nThe winning chapbook will receive publication as part of the Vallum Chapbook Series and a $300 prize\, plus promotion via social media and website. Selections from the chapbook will also be published in our print and digital magazine.\n\nVallum (VSEAL) strongly encourages submissions from LGBTQIA+\, Indigenous writers\, writers of colour\, gender non-conforming writers\, differently abled writers or persons with mental or physical challenges\, and all who are otherwise affected by structural inequality.
