Call for poems from Zimbabwean poets

CALL FOR POEMS
ZIMBOLICIOUS POETRY: Anthology of Zimbabwean Poetry, Volume 2
Following the successful publication and critical acclaim of ZIMBOLICIOUS POETRY: Anthology of Zimbabwean Poetry, we have decided to continue with the series of ZIMBOLICIOUS POETRY anthologies. We are open to both experienced poets (last anthology had poems from David Mungoshi, Ivor Hartman, John Eppel, Emanuel Sigauke, Tinashe Muchuri, Cosmas Mairosi, Mbizo Chirasha, Catherine Mugodo Mtukwa…) and several budding poets.
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: Anthology of Zimbabwean Poetry, Volume 2 will be a multilingual book of the best Zimbabwean poets
No free Contributors’ copies
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 15 June 2017
