ATLAS POETICA TO PUBLISH THREE TIMES A YEAR IN 2010
17 June 2009, Perryville, MD, USA
Atlas Poetica : A Journal of Poetry of Place in Modern English Tanka will be going to a 3x a year publication schedule in 2010. For the first two years of its existence it was published 2x a year, but continued growth in popularity with readers and poets has justified the increase. ATPO publishes tanka, tanka sequences, tanka prose, book reviews, announcements, and resources of interest to tanka poetry of place readers under the editorship of M. Kei.
ATPO will continue to feature fine art covers drawn from the galleries of 'Earth as Art', 'Visible Earth,' and other satellite image galleries produced by NASA, the USGS, and other US governmental agencies. Each of these high quality satellite photographs was originally taken as part of scientific surveys of the Earth but was deemed to have significant artistic merit in addition to scientific value. Previous covers have featured the Anti-Atlas Mountains of Morocco, the Dasht-e Kevir of Iran, Gosses Bluff, Australia, and the Taz and Yenisey Rivers, Russia.
ATPO will continue to publish in an 8.5 " x 11" format and in order to present as much tanka and related material as possible in 72 pages. The new publication schedule takes effect for the 2010 year, and full and updated guidelines are published at the website <AtlasPoetica.com>. Potential contributors should be aware that ATPO normally seeks first world English-language rights, and publishes in a triple format of printed journal, e-book, and free online version.
The new publication schedule is:
#5, Spring 2010 – Submit Nov 15, 2009 - Jan 31, 2010. Publishes March 15, 2010.
#6, Summer 2010 – Submit March 15 - May 31, 2010. Publishes July 15, 2010.
#7, Autumn 2010 – Submit July 15 - Oct. 31, 2010. Publishes Nov. 15, 2010.
