TheNewJournal.com, a soon-to-launch online literary magazine, seeks
proposals for and/or completed essays considering the poetic work of
Vassar Miller.
Deadline for proposals: January, 2001; completed essays: February,
2001.
We are particularly interested in essays that place Miller's work in
relation to the tradition(s) of American poetry and in essays which
consider the spiritual and religious aspects of her work in a rigorous
and informed manner. Writers might consider her (dis)connection to
other
contemporary writers, and we are not averse to the potential of some
biography.
About Us:
TheNewJournal.com publishes literary criticism, poetry, fiction,
reviews, and new media electronically. The editors desire work which
pushes the boundaries of convention, form, and thought. We want
writing
that crafts an action of its own, that is vigorous and impeccable. We
accept submissions throughout the year.
Speaking critically, some other topics of interest are:
- The intersection of analysis, rhetoric and poetry or creative
production (particularly with a Lacanian or post-Lacanian sense of the
term analysis)
- Examinations of the work of Mark Van Doren
- Manifestations of the sacred as in contemporary literature
- Examinations of the notion of electronic literature
- Rhetoric & Literature
- Topics in Film
- Media studies
- Various aspects of performativity
- The history of memoirs/an examination of contemporary memoir
- Essays considering any aspect of the work of Diane Williams,
Clarence
Major, Wanda Coleman, Francis Ponge, Elizabeth Bishop, Donald Antrim,
Lorrie Moore, Albert Goldbarth, Richard Kenny, H.D, William Burroughs,
Christa Wolf, etc.
- Topics in/of the visual arts and music.
We are also interested in incisive, coherent, and compact reviews of
recent books.
Send 3 to 5 poems, one or two short stories, or one essay. If you
submit
by traditional mail, include an SASE for reply. If you desire to
submit
reviews or art you should first query by e-mail. E-mail submissions
are
encouraged. Send all correspondence to:
