Calls for Submissions – MER VOX

Call for Poetry Submissions / Mom Egg Review Ekphrastic Challenge
for June, 2021, VOX Folio

Co-curated by Jennifer Martelli and Cindy Veach

For this folio we are asking writers to respond to Keisha-Gaye Anderson’s evocative piece titled “Escape.” We’re looking for work that responds to Anderson’s piece by entering it and engaging emotionally, visually, and viscerally through a lens that considers mothers/motherhood.

We encourage and invite voices from marginalized communities.

If you’ve been in a recent or upcoming issue of MER VOX (online) or MER (print issue 19), please wait until the next call to submit to VOX.

Please submit up to three unpublished poems in a single word doc, no more than one page each, by May 31, 2021, to [email protected].

You will be notified ONLY if your work was accepted by June 4, 2021.

If accepted, your work will be featured as one of approximately ten poems in The Mom Egg VOX Folio.

We’re really looking forward to reading your work!

Jenn and Cindy
Mom Egg Review co-poetry editors
