CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Modern English Tanka
Issue Vol. 3, No. 3. Spring 2009
You are invited to submit tanka for the Spring 2009 issue of Modern English Tanka. The submission deadline is February 15, 2009. (Submissions will NOT close earlier than the deadline. )
Modern English Tanka is a quarterly journal—a print literary journal, a PDF ebook, and a digital online magazine—dedicated to publishing and promoting fine English tanka (including tanka written in cinquain and cinqku set forms). We are interested in both traditional and innovative verse of high quality and in all serious attempts to assimilate the best of the Japanese waka/tanka genres into a continuously developing English short verse tradition. In addition to
verse, we publish articles, essays, book notes & reviews, interviews, letters to the editor, etc., related to tanka.
MET specializes in single tanka but tanka in sets and sequences will be considered as well. Collaborative tanka sequences are generally not wanted but may be considered. The five-line criterion is generally definitive for tanka. MET will consider variant forms on an
individual basis (like everything else!). Serious poetry and adult themes are appreciated.
Doggerel and anything that is pornographic or in any way nasty, hateful, bigoted, or partisan political, will not be accepted. All such judgments will be made at the sole discretion of the editor.
Previously unpublished work, not on offer elsewhere, is solicited.
Email* up to 40 tanka, or email articles, reviews, essays, letters to the editor, etc., to the Editor at submissions@modernenglishtanka.com.
