---------------------------------------- CALL FOR POEMS: PARADOX/OXYMORON AS THE LANGUAGE OF POETRY
Dear fellow poets,
Hearty greetings to all the unacknowledged legislators of mankind. This is an invitation for you all to be part of a poetry anthology project.
It has often been observed that in the world of poetry painful situations yield pleasure; pity and fear transmute into something delightful and immensely enjoyable. There is an obvious connection between the language of poetry and contradiction. Poetry often seems to use a language that relies heavily on oxymora, paradoxes and contradictions. Hence this attempt to anthologize this puzzling chemistry between poetry and paradox.
We plan to publish this anthology online (at www.mutemelodist.com) initially and if required publish it as a book with ISBN. Poems are invited from anyone all over the world passionate about poetry. With passion as the only criterion, we don’t charge anyone for publishing; nor will we pay anyone.
Subject: PARADOX/OXYMORON AS THE LANGUAGE OF POETRY
Length: Variable
Deadline for submission: 31 March 2016
Deadline for notification of selection: 20 April 2016
Fee: NIL
Email your poems to
The email should contain a covering letter and the following details as an attached word document:
1. Your poem with title. Font: Times New Roman. Font Size: 12
2. A brief bio note (300 words maximum), name, address and email
A committee consisting of eminent academicians will screen the poems and the authors will be intimated regarding the selection/omission of their poems by 20th April 2016.
The authors will retain their copyright, but they shall acknowledge that we are free to publish the poems online at no cost and without any other obligation on our part than to publish the poems selected by the Committee.
Thanks and regards,
Manu Mangattu

热烈祝贺！如果让中国更多的诗友参加，影响力会更大些作者: 苏菲 时间: 2016-4-19 15:55
好的，我想办法让更多诗人参加，主要是国际性的诗歌选本，基本上是英语征稿启事，英语文本出版，无法用汉语投稿，他们不懂汉语，如果让更多中国人参与，我要给大家翻译成英语投稿才行，这样就很费人力物力，他们是选稿委员会制度，要求很严格，层层筛选稿件，这样的话一大批诗人无法入选。
