CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

SPEECHLESS AND ROUTE 66
Speechless the Magazine will be publishing a feature on poems pertaining to Route 66—opened in 1926, decommissioned in 1985—the highway that gave rise to the country’s first franchise (Fred Harvey Restaurants), played a large (and long) role in the Great Depression, served as a corridor for people fleeing the Oklahoma Dust Bowl, and has been immortalized in the classic The Grapes of Wrath. They want strong, accomplished poems with interesting takes on the “Mother Road”.
Deadline: Undetermined

POETS.ORG AND LINES THAT HAVE SHAPED YOUR LIFE
Poets.org wants to know what lines of poetry have shaped your life. As executive director Jennifer Benka recently said "It's poets who sculpt ideas, images, and experiences in language that reverberates across our lifetime and beyond; whose lines we turn to for a distillation of truth we can hold like a mantra in our mind." You can share the lines of poetry that have sustained you by emailing Jennifer at JenBenka@poets.org.
Deadline: On-going
