CALL FOR POEMS

ZIMBOLICIOUS POETRY: Zimbabwe in Poetry
We are looking for poems in all Zimbabwean indigenous languages (Chewa, Chibarwe, Kalanga, Koisan, Nambya, Ndau, Ndebele, Shangani, Shona, Sotho, Tonga, Tswana, Venda and Xhosa) and English language. The indigenous languages entries should be accompanied with an English translation. We prefer short poems but we will read long poems and will include some in the anthology.
Send us your best work, not more than 3 poems per poet in one document, including a bio note of not more than 50 words
ZIMBOLICIOUS POETRY: Zimbabwe in Poetry will be a multilingual book of the best new Zimbabwean poets that will be published by Royalty Publishing, USA
There will be equal sharing of royalties among the contributors
This is a strictly Zimbabwean poets anthology, so we will only read and consider work from citizens of Zimbabwe and her diasporas (parents are of Zimbabwean descent).
Send your work to both Tendai R Mwanaka at mwanaka@yahoo.com and Edward Dzonze at aroundzimbabweinpoetry@gmail.com

Deadline for entries is 30th April 2016
