The absolute best of ‘How Poems Work’

Canada’s national poetry magazine publishes a new issue that explores How Poems Work and asks 44 Canadians from all walks of life to weigh in on Canadian poetry.

Arc Poetry Annual 2011 will explore this poetic habit in-depth, with essays examining the best (and perhaps the worst) ekphrastic Canadian poems; content exploring the lure, the payoffs, the pitfalls and the impacts of this poetic method; and a selection of new poems on works held in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.

That’s where you come in: Send us your new ekphrastic poems to be considered for this special issue of Arc.

Rules:

• Poems must relate specifically to a work of art held in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada.
• Poems must be previously unpublished and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
• The work of art that relates to each submitted poem must by identified by artist, title, medium and year made.
• Please otherwise follow our regular submission guidelines

Send submissions to:

Arc Poetry Annual 2011: Poet as Art Thief
Arc Poetry Magazine
Box 81060
Ottawa, ON K1P 1B1

Deadline: Submissions must be postmarked by December 31, 2009

Tip: If you can’t visit the National Gallery in person in Ottawa, you can view the National Gallery collection online at CyberMuse:
http://cybermuse.gallery.ca/cybermuse/home_e.jsp

Send proposals for prose pieces on ekphrasis in Canadian poetry to editor@arcpoetry.ca by September 30, 2009. All prose contributions will be due by March 1, 2010.
