This is a call to established and new writers to submit poems for a new anthology of Aotearoa New Zealand poetry about global issues. The anthology will feature poems about events and situations in the world that challenge, anger or excite us, that we fear or long for. From privatisation to peace, from human rights to global warming, from trade to famine to violence against women, there are important poems to be written.
We want writing that raises awareness without resorting to rhetoric, touches on enormous subjects without being heavy-handed, poems that somehow move us and/or inform us without being didactic. A place where politics meets literature and each brings out the best in the other.
Hard call? We believe it can be done. Prove us right.
This anthology is a project of Dev-Zone, Aotearoa's independent, not-for-profit resource centre on global issues.
