CALL for SUBMISSIONS

Jambu Press/ Studio Saraswati seeks poems 

for a special anthology project:

A FEATHER FLOATING on the WATER

poems for our children

A unique anthology of poetry for elementary age children in San Francisco by poets who live and/or work in the city. Copies of the book will be distributed to San Francisco elementary schools free of charge. The vision of the book is to offer our children the opportunity to know the work of poets who live among them—empowering our children to understand that poetry is a vibrant art form, and one vital to our humanity. Contributors will be considered to participate in a subsequent teaching program centered on poetry literacy in collaboration with a San Francisco arts and education organization. All proceeds from sales of additional copies of the book will benefit  the project in its entirety.
