Calls for Submissions

Drunken Boat seeks work for a special section: Librotraficante and the New Latino Renaissance.

In solidarity with the Librotraficante movement, sparked by Arizona’s HB2281 and the Tucson Unified School District’s resulting ban of Mexican American Studies, Drunken Boat seeks work by creators of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, spoken word, and experimental/mixed media that honors our country’s Latino heritage. The portfolio embraces quantum demographics, which, in the words of Librotraficante founder Tony Diaz, “pinpoint and celebrate the bridges that already exist between us.” Submissions will be considered through this lens of cultural intersection as it pertains to the New Latino Renaissance. Submit

Drunken Boat seeks poems that engage with debt: the friction between desire and limits, the intersection of ownership and obligation.

Poems need not be limited to the political. Special attention will be given to work that considers form when exploring this theme. Limit three poems. Submit

I’ve just begun two very different books: the dense pages of Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace, and Uncle Tom’s Cabin, by Harriet Beecher Stowe (1852), so important in rousing anti-slavery sentiment. Just ahead of my students, I’m slowly digesting their assigned text,Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style by Virginia Tufte–enlightening for writers at any stage. I’m in the final snowy scenes of an American detective novel by Margaret Millar in German translation: Da Waren’s Nur Noch Neun–a page-turner for language improvement. And I’ve recently finished The Loser, by Thomas Bernhard, his mesmerizing extended rant about Glenn Gould.

  1. Re: Infinite Jest–A brilliant ride. Just wondering your strategy with the footnotes. I never did find a satisfactory method.
