Keystone Poetry (Penn State University Press)

Leave a comment

I’m incredibly grateful to have a poem in the new anthology, Keystone Poetry: Contemporary Poets on Pennsylvania, which just released from Penn State University Press and celebrates the varied landscapes and voices of the state. Edited by Marjorie Maddox and Jerry Wemple, the anthology features 182 poets, including Gerald Stern, Toi Derricotte, Jim Daniels, Sonia Sanchez, Bruce Bond, Terrance Hayes, among others. It also features a number of poets I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know and read with over the years, when I was more involved in the poetry scene, including Dawn Leas, David Bauman, Amy Small-McKinney, and others. I’m thrilled to share the pages with them.

If you’re interested in ordering a copy, here’s a link. For a list of readings across the state, in support of the anthology, please see below.

A Forthcoming Anthology Dedicated to Hurricane Sandy Relief Efforts

I wanted to share news with readers that the poetry press Unbound Content plans to release an anthology of poetry and prose focusing on the Jersey Shore. All proceeds will benefit Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Here is more info about the submission process and the anthology:

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
 
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, Unbound Content is publishing an anthology (title TBD) celebrating the Jersey Shore. The book, edited by poet Joanie DiMartino, is expected to release in late 2013, and proceeds from the sale will be donated to ongoing restoration charities. We are looking for prose, poetry, and artwork inspired by your recollections and reimaginings of the Jersey Shore. The focus should be more on love than loss, but send your best work for consideration. No restrictions or length limit on submissions, within reason. Send submissions to annmarie@unboundcontent.com and include JERSEY in the subject line.
 
Writers and artists do not need to be residents of New Jersey to submit work for consideration. Deadline for submissions is 3/31/2013.
 
Joanie DiMartino is the author of  two collections of poetry, Licking the Spoon, (Finishing Line Press) and Strange Girls, (Little Red Tree Publishing). She is the director of the Hidden Treasures Poetry Series in downtown Mystic, CT, and hosts the Soup & Sonnets Literary Salon for women. Raised in southern New Jersey, she holds history degrees from both Rowan and Rutgers. She has fond memories of summers at the shore, and is a true Jersey Girl.
