CALL FOR POETRY SUBMISSIONS BY YOUNG TRANS POETS
Who: Poets who identify as trans, genderqueer, agender, non-binary, intersex*, 2S*, gender non-conforming, or any variation of the above (including gender-nonconforming identities that exist outside of the United States/Canada that are not explicitly mentioned here), who are 21 and younger.
What: An anthology of poetics** that tell stories of trans euphoria, resilience, becoming, hope, survival, dreaming, prospering, thrivingāstories that unsettle or resist (not deny) the dominant discourses and ideologies of transness as defined by dysphoria.
When: The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2018.
Where: Submissions may be sent to [email protected] or submitted to www.transphoriaanthology.tumblr.com
-Please submit a maximum of 5 poems (if sending over email, please attach as Word Documents or paste into the body of the email).Ā
-Please include a brief bio or statement of poetics (<300 words) that includes the name youād like to be published under, an email address where you can be safely reached, and where you fall on the trans spectrum (if youād like).
*We recognize that intersex and Two-Spirit (2S) identities are not synonymous with being trans (though intersex and 2S people may also identify as trans to some degree). Because intersex people, trans people, and Two-Spirit people are all marginalized under the settler stateās rules about gender, sex, and the bodies that may/may not generate both/either, the editors want to carve out specific spaces in this anthology that includes intersex and 2S creators, while recognizing that while our stories and identities may be different, our futures and liberations are very much entwined and interactive.
**We have no formal requirements for this anthology. Any work identifying itself as a poem will be considered. We encourage hybrid/experimental submissions.
Editors: The editor(s) are MA/MFA candidates in the English department at Western Washington University, located on the land of the Lummi and Nooksack nations in what is now known as Bellingham, WA. This ebook is being curated as part of the MA/MFA curriculum.
