CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS. Please Forward. Double Kiss pool anthology will be published edited by Sean Thomas Dougherty to be published by Mammoth Books. If you have work for this to consider for submission send it to my email letsmakepeace101@yahoo We are pretty full up with poetry, but will still look at something highly original in approach. We are seeking prose primarily at this point: flash stories, character sketches, prose poems. Submission Guidelines: Please submit poetry (1-3 pieces), prose (fiction, creative nonfiction, or essay ranging from 1-15 pages), relating in some way to pool, billiards, and pool halls and the way this sport, game, life is played, the locale, scene, setting and how it is experienced in the United States and across the world. The anthology includes work by Terrance Hayes, Dorianne Laux, Al Maginnes, Liz Ahl, Laura Moran and many many more. Submissions may be original or reprints. Payment for accepted work is one contributor copy (along with the opportunity to buy additional copies at a 50% discount). First Deadline is January 1 but we will keep reading until we are full. We are looking for work that takes unique perspectives on billiard sports and its culture. We are particularly interested in: • Odes to lesser know figures (particularly women and minority players), • Experimental lyrical work that engages the language of pool and uses it in new metaphorical ways • Essays and stories and poems that highlight characters and legends from local pool halls who might otherwise be forgotten. • Anything that offers a new perspective or emotional insight into this world • Examinations of cultural images associated with pool offered in a creative nonacademic manner Go beyond the drunken bar poem and running the table, or watching women or men in bars etc. I have a few amazing variations of those poems right now and won’t be able to use them. We are now looking for something much more. Send us work full of surprise. We look forward to hearing from you Anthology Editor: Sean Thomas Dougherty letsmakepeace101@yahoo
