Call for Submissions:
“Where I See the Sun
–Poetry in
Contemporary St. Martin”
House of Nehesi Publishers (HNP) announces that poets and spoken word artists of St. Martin—from the island or living abroad—are invited to submit up to five poems for a new poetry book. “Where I See the Sun–Poetry in Contemporary St. Martin” is the working name for the upcoming anthology. A wide range of subjects and writings styles are encouraged.
A rigorous selection process by a confidential editorial board is planned for “Where I See the Sun.” The writers submitting their work “just have to meet the measure,” said Drisana Debbie Jack, one of the nation’s leading author/artist. [Her first title, The Rainy Season (1997), was one of the most read HNP poetry books in 2009, according Philipsburg Jubilee Library statistics.]
House of Nehesi Publishers has published works by Kamau Brathwaite (Barbados), Amiri Baraka (USA), and Marion Bethel (The Bahamas).
