Call for Submissions:
The upcoming issue will deal with migration. Panoply is seeking works which explore the subtle and significant changes which occur when one moves from the rural to the urban, the developing to the developed, the downtown apartment to the suburban townhouse, the child to the adult, and etc. The idea of “re-location” whether to do with geographic location, sexual orientation, or worldview, is open to the poet’s interpretation.
Please send all submissions to panoply@jersvision.org by June 19, 2009.
