Heron Tree<\/strong>\u00a0volume 12 will be dedicated to found poems composed from sources published in or before 1929.<\/p>\n

We will be accepting submissions in the following categories:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Found poems created from any source material(s) published in or before 1929.<\/li>\n
  2. In honor of our 12th regular volume, we\u2019re inviting found poems (still created from sources published in or before 1929) that incorporate 12 in some way. For instance, a poem could have 12 syllables, 12 words, or 12 lines; it could use the word \u201ctwelve\u201d or \u201cdozen;\u201d it could be an erasure of page 12 or Chapter 12 of a particular book; it could be created from a word-pool you generated by gathering every twelfth word of a source; it could be a cento combining 12 different sources. These are just suggestions!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We encourage you to download and read some collections of found poetry that we have published in the past:\u00a0Found in the Public Domain<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Songs<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0From the Blue Fairy<\/em><\/a>,\u00a0Of Climates & Continents<\/em><\/a>, and all the poems in\u00a0volume 8,<\/a>\u00a0volume 9<\/a>,\u00a0volume 10<\/a>, and\u00a0volume 11<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    More information:<\/p>\n

    \u2013 We are interested in all approaches to found poetry construction and erased or remixed texts.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Poems that are not in one of the categories listed above will not be considered.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 If you are working with a text that was translated into English, the English translation must also be published in or before 1929.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Send up to 5 poems with a cover letter to submit.herontree@gmail.com.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 In your email cover letter, please include a list of your poems\u2019 titles.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 The poems should be attached in a single doc, docx, or pdf file. If your pieces are better viewed as digital images, insert them as jpegs within a single doc, docx, or pdf file.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 All submissions will be read blind, so do not include your name in the file with the poems.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 In the same file as the poems, provide a different process paragraph for each poem. It should identify the source(s) for the poem and clearly explain your method of composition. If a poem combines found material and your own words, that\u2019s fine, but your process statement must make that clear. You can find examples of process paragraphs in our previous collections of found poetry. If a poem is accepted for publication, the process paragraph will be published with it.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Simultaneous submissions are welcome with timely notification of acceptance elsewhere.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Poems that have previously appeared online (temporarily or permanently, on your own or a third-party site) should not be submitted, nor should work that has already been published electronically or in print.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Once you send your submission, you\u2019ll receive an automatic email reply. If you don\u2019t receive the reply, please check your spam folder and add\u00a0Heron Tree<\/strong>\u00a0to your contacts to ensure that you receive future communications about your submission.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 If your work is accepted by\u00a0Heron Tree<\/strong>, you agree to grant us exclusive first publication rights and the non-exclusive right to include your work in the volume 12 collection and our online archives. You agree that if your poem subsequently appears elsewhere you will credit\u00a0Heron Tree<\/strong>\u00a0as the original publisher.<\/p>\n

    \u2013 Accepted poems will be published weekly on the\u00a0Heron Tree<\/strong>\u00a0website beginning in summer 2025 and will be included in a free downloadable PDF volume available later.<\/p>\n

    Heron Tree<\/strong>\u00a0does not charge a fee for submitting nor provide payment for publication.<\/p>\n
