A Call For "War" Poetry

Among the horrible things people do to each other, war is one of the worst. It's a tough issue to address, but if you can delve into it and come out with a poem, this may interest you. WaterWood Press is accepting war poetry until September 1, 2008 for its upcoming softcover anthology: Against Agamemnon: War Poetry. They are seeking 1 to 3 previously unpublished poems (up to 30 lines) from any good poet, (known or unknown), in any style. They ask that you do not send poems about 9/11, as those will not be considered. Unless you are submitting from a foreign country and sending via US Mail is unpractical or too expensive, submissions will be accepted only via snail mail: WaterWood Press, 47 Waterwood, Huntsville, Texas, 77320 -- Attn: 2008 War Poetry Editor. Poets whose poems are selected for publication will receive a copy of the anthology as payment. Please go to their website for further submission guidelines, which include a recommendation of other works you may wish to refer to (#11).
