The Brown Envelope Book Poetry and prose on experiences of unemployment,
the benefits system, disability and work capability assessments Call for Submissions Caparison Books in collaboration
with Don't Go Breaking Our Arts (formerly Nothing4Something) Facebook
group, and Culture Matters (www.culturematters.org.uk),
is currently putting together an anthology of poetry and prose on experiences of
disability, unemployment and navigating the tortuous benefits system and work
capability regimen of the past decade. Submissions are welcomed from those who
are writing about their personal experiences and also from those empathising
with the experiences of others. The anthology, to be titled The Brown Envelope
Book, will initially be produced as an ebook (The Brown E-Book,
if you like), and then will progress to a print entity in due course. We
anticipate print publication around March/April 2021, though the ebook will
appear around Feb/March 2021. Provisional deadline for submissions: 31 Jan
2021. The anthology will be the de facto third (and final)
Caparison anti-austerity anthology, following on -albeit belatedly- from The
Robin Hood Book - Verse Versus Austerity (2012), and Emergency
Verse - Poetry in Defence of the Welfare State (2010/11). Guidelines for submissions: - There is no specific word count limit for
contributions but editors reserve the right to suggest edits or cuts depending
on space. - The editors may suggest edits or changes to some
submissions where it's felt these might improve them. - Ideally no more than three poems or one prose piece
per submitter. - Submissions can be sent either as Word or
Word-compatible email attachments, or, ideally, in the body of the email. - Please include with submission a biog with place
and date of birth, any previous publications, journal and magazine credits
and/or occupational details. - Please email your submission to
therecusant@yahoo.co.uk In the collective spirit of the previous two
Caparison anthologies, The Brown Envelope Book will be compiled
alphabetically by surname. |
