Here's a poetry call for a near series.
PO25centEM zines are pocket sized zines that will be handed out individually AND serialized with other zines in the series to make an 'autonomous anthology.' So far we have numbers one through ten available, but single copies are always floating around and being traded: they are handed out in Baltimore and in Washington, D.C. The pocket sized zines are compact and are 16 pages or less, making for an intimate read while waiting for the bus or the train, or just lazing the day away. The gist of this project is to get everyone to read more poetry. We're handing out free poetry to recover the sense of readership in a public that seems to not care about poetry. Folks may keep or give the zines away to others, so the turnover rate is unlimited, trading goes on forever.
Furniture Press needs all the texts it can get. We're bent on publishing every writer and anthologize this project: we're hoping to receive substantial funding and a national coverage. Hopefully other presses will start doing the same.
The goal, for now, while funding is low, is to serialize the zines and sell them in packs of ten. These contributions will go to the pressing of more zines for a wider distribution.
Here are the specifications for submission:
The zines dimensions are 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches. Send texts between 8 and 16 pages that fit nicely onto a 4 inch width by 5 inch height format. Please send texts to furniture_press@graffiti.net. No titles are necessary, any work, old and new is welcome.
Anyone who wishes to contribute donations will receive the first 10 in the series for $5+($1 or SASE) shipping. Everyone will get ten copies of their zines to distribute themselves or to trade with others.
