Mike James is seeking poetry submissions for
Unteachable: An Anthology of Poets Outside the Academy.
For the last fifty years teaching has become the default profession of poets in the United States. This anthology is to present the work of poets who do not teach. It is for bankers, carpenters, lawyers, taxi drivers, machinists, clerks, waiters, flight attendants, surgeons, musicians and anyone else who reads, writes and publishes outside of the academy.
Please submit 1-3 poems and a biographical statement to Mike James at
williamdijames@aol.com. In the subject line, please type Anthology Submission. Poems may be on any subject and in any style. All submissions should be included in the body of the email, not as an attachment. Previously published are acceptable if the poet retains copyright.
Payment will be one copy of the anthology. The deadline is Dec. 31.
Poetry at Tech here in Atlanta will launch its 2012-13 season on Thursday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m. with a free reading by the brilliant Naomi Shihab Nye and Michael Dickman. The reading will be held in the Kress Auditorium of the Robert C. Williams Paper Museum, 500 10th Street.
