The inaugural issue of grain short/grain long (http://www.sundress.net/grainshortgrainlong) is now available, featuring excellent work by Suzanne Grazyna, Virginia Reeves, Elizabeth Kate Switaj, & C. R. E. Wells in response to the theme “grain short/grain long.”

Our next issue will center around the theme “Collaboration / Stimulus / Response.” We are looking for works that collaborate with, are stimulated by, &/or respond to other writers & artists. The vehicle —

grain short/grain long is open to all types of poetry, prose, visual, & hybrid works. We are especially interested in submissions from women; Southerners; unknown, unpublished, & under-represented artists; or anyone whose projects have been described as “innovative,” “experimental,” “avant-garde,” “post-avant,” “eccentric,” or just plain “odd.”

Potential contributors may submit up to four (4) poems, four thousand (4,000) words of prose, or images up to 2 MB in response to the current call to

Accepted file formats include JPG, TIFF, BMP, ODT, DOC, & RTF. Other formats will be considered on an individual basis — query first. Projects that stretch the limits of print are welcome, so long as

Submissions in response to “Collaboration / Stimulus / Response” will be accepted until December 31, 2008.
