THE BILLIARD ANTHOLOGY DEADLINE IS LOOMING. JANUARY 1. This anthology is already loaded with smoking poetry. We need PROSE. DEADLINE 1-1-15. FICTION and LYRIC ESSAYS CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS. Please Forward or repost if you can. Double Kiss: Contemporary Writers on the Art of Billiards edited by Sean Thomas Dougherty to be published by Mammoth Books January 2016. If you have work for this to consider for submission send it to my email letsmakepeace101@yahoo. We are FULL UP with POETRY, but will still look at POETRY if it is highly original in approach. Also poems that highlight specific places and locales. But I am really tired of reading a bunch of drunk people in a bar poems. The game and the subtleties and beauties of its culture and all the stories and characters that surround it, and its rich history deserve so much more from our artists. We are seeking prose primarily at this point: flash stories, character sketches, prose poems. Be inventive. Think of language. 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, Patrick Rosal, Richard Jackson, John Smith, Vince Gotera, Jennifer Militello and many many more. Submissions may be original or reprints. Payment for accepted work is one contributor copy. 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 or 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 many amazing variations of those kinds of 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
