(from Northern Groove . . . )
The Peace has many fine writers but few places to showcase their writing. Retro Relics/The Rabbit Hole, as part of its monthly Spread the Word open mike for poets and writers, is hoping to change that unfortunate fact. We are looking for submissions for DiVerseCities 2, an anthology of writing from the Peace. Submissions can include poetry, short stories, memoirs, or any other form of short writing. Well, except ransom notes and bomb threats.
The first DiVerseCities, published in November 2009, was widely acclaimed. The Guardian Books (UK) said "Astonishing!". The New York Review of Books called it a "trenchant voice from the gritty underbelly of the oil patch." The Globe & Mail commented "Who knew they could write in northern BC?"
Entries will be selected by a group of editors comprised of regulars of the Spread the Word open mike.
Entries should be submitted in electronic form by email to retrofsj@telus.net
by March 31, 2011.
For more information, contact Henry See at (250) 787-8822.
Future dates for the Spread the Word open mike are Tuesday, March 15, April 12, and May 17 at 7:00 pm.
