We've just opened our call for submissions for the seventh issue of illiterature.
Poetry is all around, if you’re looking with the right kind of lens. Newspapers, billboards, anatomy textbooks, receipts, crumpled up grocery lists in the bottom of a shopping cart… these are all sources rife with poetic potential. Look around the room you’re sitting in. There may be a poem hidden somewhere close by. Is there a poem in your sock drawer? Is a poem lost in your recycling bin? Check your pockets, there may be poem stuffed in your wallet. When you’re outside, keep your eyes peeled. A poem may spring up behind on your bus ride to work. You may stoop over and a find a poem in a discarded pack of cigarettes. Maybe your bank teller will recite a poem to by heart…
We’re also hoping for you to uncover some concrete/visual poems. Take your camera with you, snap a photo of one. Photocopy one. Tear one out of a free movie magazine. Send us your butcher’s business card…
check out our SUBMISSIONS page for all the details. Looking forward to what you find!
