Futurepoem Open Reading Period

Futurepoem books will hold an open reading period for manuscripts during the month of September 2006. Manuscripts must be postmarked during the month of September to be considered. Editors for this reading period will be Laura Elrick, Rob Fitterman, Tonya Foster, and Dan Machlin.

Futurepoem is interested in receiving unpublished book-length works of innovative poetry, shorter prose, as well as cross-genre works of literature. We cannot currently consider works in translation, or works whose published length in our smaller book format would probably exceed 200 pages. We will consider non-U.S. work written in English.
