Looking to get published and have something to say about Asian American and Arab American populations in urban spaces? The Asian American Writers' Workshop encourages you to submit to Open the City: Drunken Boat.They're seeking poetry, artwork, essays, photography and other media that respond to the question of Asian and Middle Eastern-American populations in the city. Here are some more details about what they're looking for:
Open the City: Drunken Boat, alongside The Asian American Writers' Workshop, seek works in a variety of media (poems, artworks, essays, photography, translations, architectural blueprints, videos, web work, mixed media, documentary, theatrical production) that respond to the question of Asian and Middle Eastern-American populations in urban spaces. These can take a particular city as point of departure, can verge to cities around the world, engaging with the notion of how the forces of displacement and accretion intersect to create identity in a particular environment. We envision Chinatown, Little India, mosques in metropolitan areas, ethnic groceries, foreign film theaters, etc. all as possible sites for investigation.The new extended deadline is December 1. For further information about the call for submissions, go to Drunken Boat's online submissions system here. And for more on the Asian American Writers' Workshop, go here.
