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

The brilliant experimental poet Leslie Scalapino passed away two days ago, after a decades-long career of crafting devastatingly frank, beautiful, and sometimes longingly abstract poetry. The founder of O Books, a press that helped many emerging poets and writers to get their start, Leslie will have three books published this summer and fall from Litmus Press, Post-Apollo Press, and Chax Press, and Poets House in New York will stage her play Flow-Winged Crocodile June 19th and 20th. There will be a memorial event for her at St. Mark’s Poetry Project on Monday, June 21st.

Leslie Scalapino was one of the very first poets published in Drunken Boat, in our first issue. Her piece, excerpts from Tango stands out among that of the 11 poets included in that issue. Anyone who has not yet experienced Leslie’s poetic landscapes, should take the time to explore her works today.
