Please note: The deadline
for the May special issue is April 5th.
The issue will be guest-edited by Rosie
Miles, and the topic is
BREATHE.
Rosie explains:
|
Breathe
in. Breathe out. Breathe in. Breathe out.
“I can’t breathe!”
Allow yourself to breathe. Let the wine
breathe. Take time to breathe. Breathe a
sigh of relief.
Who has breathed their last? Who can
barely breathe? Who is still struggling to
breathe?
What is it like to breathe again? What
(new) spirit breathes among us?
Breathe energy, breathe fear, breathe
courage, breathe air, breathe hope,
breathe peace, breathe deeply, breathe
freely.
What are you/we breathing new life into?
Breathe it all in.
Please respond to the theme as
imaginatively and expansively and
arrestingly as only poets can!

Rosie likes poems to be sent in
attachments. I find them awkward to work with.
So attach like a good one for her, but for other
issues, please send your poems to
editor@snakeskin.org.uk, as usual, in the body
of an email.

Two blog posts may be of
interest to potential contributors to Snakeskin
.
The first, on "How
Snakeskin Works", explains the simple
procedure by which contributions are selected for
a month's issue.
The second, called "Don't"
offers some tips to novice poets, detailing a few
of the things that might make an editor take
against your work.
