Calico Series Call for Submissions

Poetry: Female Afghan Poets

We’re spotlighting the uncompromising voices of female Afghan poets in an upcoming edition of the Calico Series. The call is open to poets living in Afghanistan and the diaspora, translated from any language, and written in any style. We’re especially eager to see work with fresh poetic language and detailed imagery that will inspire, challenge, and expand our conception of poetry from that region of the world.

To submit, please send us 8–15 pages of translated poetry.

DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 18

General Submission Guidelines

– Translators are expected to have identified the original copyright holder and obtained confirmation that the translation rights are available before submitting.

– We only consider previously unpublished translations. If a piece has been published anywhere, including on a personal blog, please submit something else.

– We acquire first serial rights, and the rights revert to the translator upon publication.

– The translator cannot also be the author of the piece (unless it is a co-translation).

– Please note: We are testing this new system for submissions. If you have any trouble with the form below, please send an email to info@twolinespress.com.
